When did Craigslist ban "cannabis" ads?

I have never bought any cannabis products off Craigslist, but I did use the site to see what was being sold and what prices were being asked. It was a decent way to keep up with the available clone strains in my part of California. But when I went to CL a couple days ago, there were absolutely zero ads that came up when I searched for "cannabis" or even "420."

I can't find any news articles that directly explain the apparent change in CL ad policy, but I think I know the reason: opiate dealers were using CL to advertise their oxy and fentanyl. :cry:

Low life "buyers" shooting sellers in cross state hook ups..... Craig's was the meeting point. Police "enticed" Craig's to stop...
Now legal in a state?.....Here in ours - same rule applies! NO cannabis related posts. Growing equipment is ok.

We had a guy here who responded to a CL ad for a dirtbike for sale. He called the ad and offered to trade a pound for the dirtbike. The ad was placed by the son of our Sheriff. Oooooops! LOL

It's the search feature, they have a blacklist. The ads should still be there. I ran into it searching for 'hemp' and getting no results when I knew there was dozens of ads using the word hemp.

In Oregon you can still search SELF CENSORED to find stuff. but I don't know how long that will last...

I noticed the same thing about 2-3 weeks ago..from canada. 420 or cannabis came back with nothing. Even 420 used to return items that cost 420$, but now not even that.

I forgot about the robbery angle, but yeah, that comes up in the news frequently. People selling cell phones or guns get jacked several times a week, based on what I've been reading in the crime reports.
