 "Google says it is banning all apps from Play Store that facilitate sale of marijuana")
Alphabet Inc’s Google on Wednesday banned apps on its app store that facilitate the **sale of marijuana** or related products, as part of a change to its content policy. Developers only need to move their shopping cart option outside the app to comply with the new policy, a Google spokesperson told Reuters.

Existing apps would have 30 days post-launch to comply with the policy. “Google’s decision is a disappointing development that only helps the illegal market thrive, but we are confident that Google, Apple and Facebook will eventually do the right thing,” a spokesperson for Eaze, a marijuana delivery app, said.
