WeedLaws is a user-friendly application that enables medical cannabis patients and providers to research state laws regarding legal cannabis use within their state and stay informed about regulatory activity in the medical cannabis industry nationwide. Already the most accurate and complete database of Marijuana laws in existence, management anticipates creating an expanded version of the WeedLaws application for market release during the first quarter of 2012.
The acquisition of the WeedLaws application follows WeedMaps Media's recent purchase of the domain name Marijuana.com.
"We're proud to acquire WeedLaws, which we believe represents one of the most innovative and important cannabis applications within an increasingly active mobile space," said Justin Hartfield, Chief Web Officer of WeedMaps. "With our upcoming release of WeedMaps.com/Lawyers on our http://www.WeedMaps.com portal, our purchase of WeedLaws furthers our efforts to keep medical marijuana patients informed by providing the most robust resources for the medical cannabis community. Usage of our WeedMaps Android application has skyrocketed since its launch in September, which indicates the importance of mobile applications for our industry. Our new WeedLaws application will assume the WeedMaps brand after improvements to its content and functionality are completed. We look forward to its re-release next quarter."
"Acquiring the WeedLaws app is in line with our ongoing efforts to provide the most accurate and pertinent information in the medical cannabis industry," said Doug Francis, President of General Cannabis. "We believe that WeedLaws reinforces our stance as the place to go for accurate information on medical marijuana and we are proud to welcome it to the WeedMaps family."
