This year, plan out your perfect 4/20
from the comfort of your smartphone.
As more and more states have
legalized medical and recreational marijuana, the weed tech industry has
bloomed along with it. Need some weed or edibles delivered? Want to find your
nearest dispensary or choose just the right strain? Download a couple apps, and
you can start doing anything from flipping through a weed cookbook to setting
up a date with a fellow ganja enthusiast.
Remember, these apps aren’t just for
April 20. No matter what day it is, it’s always 4:20 somewhere.

Leafly
Leafly is a conscientious stoner’s
best friend. Available for iOS and Android, Leafly has detailed info and
reviews on different cannabis strains, a guide to doctors who write marijuana
prescriptions, nearby dispensaries, basic info like how an indica strain is
different from a sativa, and even cannabis news and legalization updates. If
you want a nice-looking chart that tells you whether a strain will make you
feel energetic or relaxed and whether to expect dry mouth or dry eyes, Leafly
is your go-to.
Eaze
It’s Uber for weed. There really is
no better, simpler way to put it. Eaze delivers pot in about 15 minutes to
medical marijuana prescription holders who live in the various counties in California where
marijuana is now legalized for recreational use.
MassRoots
MassRoots is the largest cannabis
social network. The app, available for Android and iOS, lets you check out
weed-related content and local news, and post pictures or videos of your
Instagram-worthy flowers or 4/20-related activities. You can also rate and
recommend strains, read info and reviews, and check out all that dank content
your “Buds” are posting in your social feed.
High There
It’s a buzzkill when you meet someone
and find out you don’t share the same interests. With High There (iOS, Android)
enthusiasts won’t face that problem. They can swipe right or left on someone
after seeing how that person likes to consume weed—whether they’re a slow
stoner or still super-productive—and how they like to spend their high times.
Merry Jane
Don’t forget about Snoop Dogg’s
cannabis media tech startup. Merry Jane is a weed media site with a lot of dank
content, but the company also has a useful app for Android and iOS. The Merry
Jane app has a news section with stories on weed business, culture, and health,
a dispensary search engine with deals, menus and reviews, and a product catalog
where you can browse and buy flowers, edibles, concentrates, and topicals.
Potbot
For medical patients who need a bit
more detailed clinical information than you’ll find on Leafly, Potbot is a
better bet. The app, which is available for Android and iOS, uses peer-reviewed
scientific research to recommend strains in the local area that have the best
chance of relieving a patient’s symptoms. The app provides medical personalized
treatment recommendations on cannabis strains and consumption methods for a
patient’s specific ailment based off of their previous cannabis experiences.
Weedmaps
Weedmaps, available on Android and
iOS, is a marijuana dispensary finder with listings throughout the US , Canada ,
and Europe . You can browse menus and strains,
see products and watch dispensary tour videos, and even find medical marijuana
doctors in the area. You can also find deals and browse products, and even post
about your experience on Weedmaps Social.
Weed Cookbook
Go beyond the brownie with Weed
Cookbook (iOS, Android). Edibles are a tricky thing, so having a few tested
recipes to try is the best way to approach cannabis cookery. Weed Cookbook is a
paid app, but you can also use free ones like Cannabis Cookbook Lite
SimLeaf
For growers, SimLeaf is a cool iOS
app that lets you simulate a grow and adjust settings within a 3D environment.
You can choose factors like strains, light, temperature, humidity, water
levels, nutrients, and pH level to simulate what it’s like to grow a real cannabis plant based on real scientific data.
Stone Road Rewards
California-based cannabis company Stone Road recently
rolled out a new rewards app for its products. If you’re near one of its Los Angeles , San Francisco ,
San Diego , Palm Springs ,
or Orange County locations and want to earn some
points when buying Stone Road ’s
hand-rolled joints and concentrates, download the app for Android or iOS.
Weed Joint Battery Widget
Weed Joint Battery Widget
(Android) can’t do anything to get you or your battery high, but this
joint-based representation of how much power your phone has left is amusing.
420 Clock
Who said your Apple Watch is a waste of money? It’s 4:20 somewhere and this Watch app will tell you where and when.
