The weed revolution still won't be televised.
Portland was about to take another step into the brave new world of legal marijuana with what was described as the first-ever pot business commercial on network television—until KATU-TV pulled the plug.
The Portland-area network was scheduled to air a commercial on Wednesday for the upcoming Oregon Medical Marijuana Business Conference. According to a report from Marijuana Politics, the ad would have continued to air during the weeks leading up to the conference on September 12-13th.
