Want to Find Marijuana? There’s an App for That
iPhone apps can find just about anything. They can help you find a job, locate your friends, or just pinpoint a gas station. But a new app is promising to find you something far more controversial: marijuana. Mashable reports.
Apple has approved a new $2.99 iPhone app, aptly named Cannabis. The purpose of the app is to help locate legal medical marijuana in states and locations where it can be found.
In their own words:
Looking for your cannabis medicine? Need to find a doctor? Have legal issues? Cannabis Apps has cultivated an iPhone application that allows you to quickly locate the nearest medical cannabis collectives, cooperatives, doctors, clinics, attorneys, organizations, and other patient services in states that have passed medical marijuana (cannabis) legislation.
Information is continuously updated and supplied by iMedicalCannabis.org, Ajnag.com, and the Patient ID Center.
For those states without medical marijuana laws, users can locate the nearest cannabis organization to get active and take action towards reform. Traveling internationally? Locate the nearest legal cannabis coffee shop. “Cannabis” is a handy travel companion in regions that have decriminalized.
