What is the Google Ads policy on recreational drugs and drug-related content?

Google has strict policies in place to prohibit the promotion of recreational drugs and drug-related content in its advertising products, including Google Ads. This includes but is not limited to:

* Illegal drugs: Ads cannot promote the sale or use of illegal drugs, such as marijuana, cocaine, or heroin.
* Legal drugs with improper use: Ads cannot promote the use of legal drugs (such as prescription medications) in a manner that is inconsistent with their approved labeling or intended use.
* Paraphernalia: Ads cannot promote the sale or use of drug paraphernalia, such as pipes, bongs, or rolling papers.
* Instructional content: Ads cannot promote instructional content about the use or manufacture of recreational drugs.

Ads that violate these policies may be disapproved and not allowed to run. If an ad is disapproved, Google will provide a notification and an explanation of the reason for the disapproval. The advertiser will then have the opportunity to make any necessary changes to the ad and resubmit it for review.

It's important to note that ad disapprovals can have a negative impact on an advertiser's account, as they can lead to decreased ad visibility and performance. To avoid ad disapprovals, advertisers should familiarize themselves with the Google Ads policies and ensure that all of their ads comply with these guidelines.
