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.”

It is no secret that General Cannabis is experiencing record setting revenues with third quarter earnings published at $4.1 million, a year-over-year increase of 106%, compared with $2.0 million for the third quarter of 2010, and an increase to $10.4 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2011, an increase of 87%, from $5.5 million for nine months ended September 30, 2010.

In the small but budding legal medical marijuana industry, WeedMaps has the munchies for acquisitions (sorry, I couldn’t resist). Fresh off its $4.2 million Marijuana.com bong hit in November, WeedMaps’ parent company, Canada’s General Cannabis, announced today its acquisition MMJMenu.

Terms were not disclosed. It was an asset-sale, though, so it probably wasn’t much. General Cannabis, which is publicly traded over the counter in Canada (OTCBB: CANA), (OTCQX: CANA), reported $10.4 million in revenues for the first nine months of 2011, and it only had $1.4 million in cash. WeedMaps accounts for 82 percent of its revenues.

MMJMenu provides back-end enterprise software for medical marijuana dispensaries. The software handles everything from patient management to inventory control to checkout at point of sale. Medical marijuana dispensaries are highly regulated. Emblazoned on MMJMenu’s homepage is its key selling point:

mmjmenu is the best choice for medical marijuana business owners that want to stay compliant with state laws & regulations.

WeedMaps is the “Yelp for medical marijuana dispensaries.” Now it will be able to offer these businesses enterprise software as well as advertising services. MMJMenu claims “hundreds” of medical marijuana business customers “in California, Colorado, Michigan, Montana, Washington as well as in Canada.”
