A medical marijuana service has managed to get their ads airing on several major networks through Comcast.

“Securing the airtime for our commercial on a major network was extremely difficult and at the same time, extremely satisfying,” said Jason Draizin, Founder and CEO of MarijuanaDoctors.com, Inc.

They believe their ad is the first to air on major TV channels. It will appear on networks that include A&E, AMC, FOX, CNBC, CNN, Comedy Central, Bravo, Discovery and ESPN.

“We recognize that the sale and use of marijuana is still considered very controversial and we are pleased that Comcast understands that there are legitimate businesses providing legitimate and legal services to people who have legitimate needs,” says Draizin.

In the ad, MarijuanaDoctors.com is advertising its service that allows customers to visit their website to find a certified physician who writes medical marijuana prescriptions in their area.

The ad will reportedly only be airing in states where medical marijuana is legal.
