I run a cannabis company in CA. After seeing my friend's account reactivated a few months ago he told me he paid 3k for the service. When that IG employee got fired there were 5 cannabusiness accounts I knew of that were deleted on the same day. All people who paid the restoration fee.

To the comments below who think IG isn't that important--I close upwards of $40,000 of monthly recurring revenue from IG outreach every month. It's value can't be understated.

I sell infused cannabis products to dispensaries. They resale them to the consumer.
