General Cannabis Inc., the company that owns Weedmaps.com, purchased Marijuana.com for $4.20 million dollars! Rumor has it the agreement was signed by both parties at 4:20pm!

The acquisition is very strategic, and I think this will re-affirm their position as the authority in the medical marijuana industry.

Fearmongers in Colorado are out to run Medical Cannabis (Marijuana) Dispensaries out of business by regulating them to death. How will the army of "armed auditors" (as the bill's author brazenly refers to them) be funded? Higher fees will be charged the MMJ community.

Hope for cancer patients? Change in a destructive policy of prohibition? Not so much. Deputy Attorney General James M. Cole released a memo this week clearly specifically out distributors and cultivators of cannabis for medical purposes, making them a high priority target in the war on (some) drugs. "The Ogden Memorandum was never intended to shield such activities from federal enforcement action and prosecution, even where those activities purport to comply with state law." What Tenth Amendment?
