A company called MarijuanaDoctors.com says it made history Monday when one of its commercials was aired by the biggest cable TV provider in the United States.
The TV spot began airing in New Jersey only and it will be played 800 times over the next two weeks. One of the company's owners called it significant that the commercial is airing across the entire state and is being aired by Comcast, a telecommunications giant.
"We made history yesterday," John Nicolazzo, chief operating officer and part owner, said in an interview Tuesday. "It's a milestone."
