WeedMaps is a new startup that is looking to make a buck off of legalized marijuana legislation in the United States. Legalized for medical purposes of course. The Google Maps mashup pinpoints the closest marijuana dispensary to a user’s location, and aims to provide customer reviews of each service. Right now most of the Cannabis Clubs are mapped in California, and are slowly beginning to trickle out across the rest of the United States. One thing that surprises me is that Yelp is a big-time competitor to WeedMaps. I wasn’t aware that the popular review site provided customer reviews of marijuana dispensaries, but sure enough it does. WeedMaps is apparently looking for venture capital at the moment, though I can’t see that happening anytime soon.
