After all these years, it looks like the publishing industry is still threatened by marijuana.

Could be they're not threatened by marijuana so much as their other advertisers.

It's not difficult to imagine an account with much deeper pockets and an opposing agenda making it clear that if CN takes money from "pro-drug" advertisers, then they'll pull their own.

I was mostly pointing out the irony that Conde Nast is continuing the legacy of William Randolph Hearst. My assertion isn't completely implausible though.

Perhaps its not that they're threatened by marijuana but disinclined to accept controversial and divisive advertising?

They already accept controversial and divisive advertising. Here is an example: http://i.imgur.com/pRN0K.jpg

Although it looks like that is a Google ad, so maybe they didn't intend to accept it?

Wow. Nevermind then!
