The Cannabis Experience Goes Mobile

Well, it’s safe to say that there really is a mobile app for virtually everything. And with Colorado’s passing of Amendment 64 (which legalizes cannabis for recreational use), there’s never before been technology to boost this newly legal market. Now, customers who are looking to find the best cannabis (from Colorado’s plethora of recreational dispensaries) can simply go online and download an app.

New cannabis-related apps can help users locate a dispensary, check store/product reviews and place orders for pickup. With recreational weed going for approximately $15 per gram, mobile accessibility for the best products will be in increasing demand.

Whether you are a Colorado resident or future tourist there, check out these great, mobile cannabis resources:

1. CannaBuild

Like all products that are in demand, cannabis customers may experience long wait lines and inadequate customer service. To cope with the explosion of adult-use cannabis dispensaries, CannaBuild allows mobile users to remotely have one-on-one sessions with budtenders. These sessions help answer questions related to different plant strains, symptoms and usage. Although marijuana is losing its negative stigma, these online mobile sessions can be done anonymously for extra privacy. CannaBuild allows users to place mobile orders anywhere— with the touch of a button. So whatever type of bud you are looking for… just download the CannaBuild mobile app, chat with a budtender and quickly place a mobile order for pickup— it’s that simple. It’s all about finding the best resources for your individual needs. CannaBuild will available for download on both iOS and Android devices in August.

2. Mass Roots

Mass Roots, a tech startup company, launched last July and is rapidly growing in popularity. It’s an app-based social network for cannabis users— much like an Instagram for pot. Right now, it has over 100K users. Although weed is legal in Colorado, cannabis users shouldn’t make posts on standard social media websites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. Instead, Mass Roots provides a private and anonymous social media network that encourages weed posts and pictures.

3. Mantis

This third one is really for entrepreneurs who are joining the legal cannabis industry; but it’s worth mentioning. Mantis, a new and highly reputable ad network, works similarly to Google AdWords. With cost-per-click (CPC) ads, it serves to generate more web traffic and online sales. It used to be solely for medical marijuana, but has now extended to recreational markets.

As technology continues to develop in the recreational cannabis industry, users will enjoy more than the smell and taste of their favorite herb. They’ll also enjoy the process of obtaining it. Whether it’s an app that informs and places mobile orders…a network that unites cannabis users or a new ad network for retailers, your next toke should be nothing short of great.
