General Cannabis, Inc. (OTCBB:CANA.ob – News), (OTCQX: CANA) of California, a technology-based Internet marketing services company, is making huge moves in the medical marijuana industry. Recent activities include the acquisition of WeedMaps (December 2011) and MMJMenu (November 2011). WeedMaps can be described as the yelp of medical marijuana dispensaries and MMJMenu is one of the most trafficked medical marijuana websites that offer point of sale and supply chain management software in the United States. WeedMaps had just acquired the domain name marijuana.com in late November 2011 and the Android Application WeedLaws in early December 2011. “WeedMaps’ continuing growth validates our ability to generate significant revenue through Internet portals that serve niche markets, even as the current economy and overall market conditions remain volatile,” said Doug Francis, President of General Cannabis. “Clearly, our many offerings, including smartphone applications, offer winning solutions for those in the medical cannabis community. As a result of our successes, we strongly believe that we can leverage our technological platform and systems into other industry sectors.”
