[PRESS RELEASE] – VERMONT, USA, Dec. 9, 2025 – In an era where mainstream platforms routinely censor, suppress or de-platform cannabis creators and businesses, a bold new app has emerged to give the community a home of its own. Cannect, now live at Cannect.net, is the first progressive web app designed specifically for cannabis users, growers, educators, and entrepreneurs to connect, share freely and grow proudly.
Cannect offers a censorship-resistant alternative to traditional social media. It blends the best of community networking, business discovery and culture-sharing into one clean, intuitive platform that works on any device, without requiring downloads through restrictive app stores.
“Cannabis shouldn’t be shadow-banned, suppressed or erased,” Cannect co-founder Felista Sutherland said. “We built Cannect because our community deserves a space where we are safe, respected and allowed to thrive.”
A Safe, Digital Home for the Cannabis World
Across the U.S. and beyond, cannabis creators struggle with bans and account removals. Seed banks, cultivators, educators and small brands are losing their digital presence overnight – simply for doing legal business. Cannect solves that problem.
Key Features Include
- Uncensored posting: Share photos, videos and updates without fear of takedowns.
- Community-first design: Built for growers, patients, advocates and craft cannabis culture.
- Instant access: Works on iPhone, Android, tablet or desktop – no app store gatekeeping.
- Vermont-grown roots: Built by a 10th-generation Vermonter who is deeply connected to regenerative farming and cannabis culture.
A Movement – Not Just an App
Cannect launches at a moment of cultural shift: Consumers want authenticity, small businesses need stability, and cannabis voices deserve visibility. Cannect is not positioning itself as the “next social network.” It’s positioning itself as the first cannabis-native digital ecosystem where everyone – from legacy growers to new entrepreneurs – can exist without fear.
Why Media Should Be Paying Attention
The cannabis industry is entering a new era of decentralization – and Cannect is the first platform to fully embrace this reality. With seed banks and cannabis brands increasingly losing access to mainstream tech infrastructure, the need for sovereign, community-owned and uncensorable spaces is exploding. Cannect is filling a void no one else has addressed and doing it with a simple, accessible platform anyone can use.
Tech reporters, cannabis journalists and cultural publications now have a new story to follow: a grassroots-built app that could redefine how digital cannabis communities operate.
