Chron's Pot Ad Section REVEALED

Curious to see our competition, we bought a copy of the paper this morning (from a real-live person vendor, too). It took us a few minutes to find Herbal Cure Corner, but when we did, we were... perplexed.

The picture above is essentially what you get -- inside the Chronicle's 96 Hours weekend insert, on page eight, below the music listings, a quarter-page ad each for a grow light shop on Haight, and another for Medithrive, at 1933 Mission (a loyal SF Weekly advertiser, we might add. Love those four-gram eighths at Medithrive!).
On the opposite page, a full-page ad for the Vapor Room (a Lower Haight favorite with some of the finest medicine in town. Try the Orange Crush if you have stuff to do; try the Cheese if you don't).
And that's about it. On page 11 there was another full-page ad for Harborside, the Oakland mega-dispensary that probably has enough money in its couch cushions to buy out all the ads in the Chronicle for a week.
Folks over at the Chronicle still haven't returned calls and e-mails from The Snitch asking for comments, explanations and lunch. We wonder exactly what advertisers were told -- was this pitched as a special section? -- but we're sure that this is only a humble beginning.
