Shiver me stoned, iPhone app to find marijauna
It seems that modern day mobiles phones continue to offer everything, games, applications, videos and now an application which launched in the app store has caused quite a stir.
For $2.99 Apple has an offering which allows customers to find local marijuana suppliers, which has created quite a buzz online. It appears to have the world's weed smoking users are now able to carry out online price comparisons between dealers in their local areas.
But before all you "smokers" start celebrating it should be noted the new service actually aims to help people locate legal
medical suppliers in the US, rather than the best place to get hold of a quarter of your finest grade green in the neighborhood.
According to Mashable the app is a location-based service that takes the known locations of medical collectives, doctors, clinics, and organisations from various sources and aggregates them onto a Google Map - it then finds the nearest source of legal cannabis based on your current location. You'll still need a licence allowing you to buy cannabis for medical reasons before you can take advantage.
However, for those not medically qualified to get their hands on marijuana the app offers an additional service, pointing users to the nearest pro-cannabis organisations, so they can join the campaign to promote reform of the drugs laws.
As Mashable says, the app's current features aren't revolutionary, but it does promise news updates, videos, and reviews in the future. So it looks like smokers everywhere may finally have an app they can rally behind.
