FREE Cannabis: Yes, There's an App for That

Free Cannabis: There's an App for That



Los Angeles, Ca ~ an alliance of ground-breaking advocacy organizations present the first fully functioning free iPhone app to locate medical marijuana, just in time for National Medical Marijuana Week.

Last summer, Cannabis Apps and AJNAG were the first to “cultivate” an iPhone application that allows patients to quickly locate the nearest medical cannabis collectives, cooperatives, doctors, clinics, attorneys, organizations, and other patient services in the fourteen states, plus the District of Columbia, that have passed medical marijuana (cannabis) legislation. Seventeen additional states are considering some form of medical cannabis legalization.

“Our collective goal is to put the power of cannabis change in medical cannabis patients’ pockets,” says Devin Colloway— Founder of Cannabis Apps, “while they enjoy the most sticky and potent iPhone application available!”

Originally, the app sold for $2.99; now any iPhone and iPod Touch users—over the age of seventeen— can download the app called Cannabis from the iTunes store for free.

“As patients, we understand the financial burden of living with life-altering medical conditions,” says Cheryl Aichele of Medical Marijuana Media, “and we want to help patients access valuable resources for no additional cost.”

This timely gift corresponds with the week that Americans for Safe Access, the Nation’s largest medical marijuana advocacy organization, has adopted as National Medical Marijuana Week. Medical Marijuana Week originally came out of California's Proposition 215 -- thus the annual date February 15th. Now on its eighth year, Medical Marijuana Week is a national phenomenon.

Not living in a medical cannabis state? The new iPhone application will locate the nearest cannabis-reform group so supporters can get involved.

GROUND-BREAKING ORGANIZATIONS BEHIND THIS APP:

News delivered to the app comes from the most revolutionary organizations in cannabis reform movement. NORML is the first and oldest national organization focused on marijuana legalization and Americans for Safe Access (ASA) is the first national organization solely focused on medical cannabis reform. ASA has made some of the most impactful legal advances to ensure safe access to medical cannabis for patients who qualify for it.

Devin Calloway has made revolutionary advances in the medical cannabis movement by creating the first online locator (ajnag.com in 2006), the first fully integrated patient-resource platform (iMedicalCannabis.org) and the original Medical Cannabis iPhone App (CannabisApps.com). Ajnag.com is also the first organization to offer short-form videos focused on medical cannabis.

In part, the application gets continually updated by information from iMedicalCannabis.org and the Patient ID Center (PIDC). The PIDC was the first medical cannabis cooperative to have a federal criminal case go to the United States Supreme Court – under its original name: Oakland Cannabis Buyer’s Collective. They also are the very first medical cannabis cooperative to incorporate in California.

Also the PIDC is the first organization to offer an identification card program. The California Health Department County identity card borrowed the PIDC’s model to create their program. Furthermore, the PIDC is the first organization to get a contract with a County to provide the state-issued cards, instead of the County of Alameda issuing them.

Medical Marijuana Media (M3) is the first organization to be dedicated to educating and empowering medical cannabis patients get their own positive media attention and providing public relations services specifically to the medical cannabis community.

M3 handled to media for both releases of the Cannabis app. The Cannabis iPhone application has been featured on ABC, CBS radio, CNN, NBC, PC World, Mashable, LA Times, the Tonight Show and more.

This should definitely hit home in San Francisco, home to marijuana dispensaries called the Vapor Room and the Divinity Tree and likely the nest of the largest amount of iPhone users in the nation besides New York.

You may remember way back when in the days of black and white when ANJAG.com and Cannabis Apps released an iPhone application they called, rather ingeniously, Cannabis. If you’re reading this, more you probably cannot recall that far back in the past so let me bring you up to speed.

The application, for $3 on the App Store, would locate places that cannabis users, with doctor’s orders of course, could find medical marijuana. That meant collectives, cooperatives, doctors, clinics and facilities in fourteen states.

And if you have been around San Francisco, you know there are a few of them.

While they haven’t changed the functionally of the Cannabis application, they have made it free for anyone over the age of 17 with an iPhone. Here is what Cheryl Aichele of Medical Marijuana Media had to say about the price change:

As patients, we understand the financial burden of living with life-altering medical conditions and we want to help patients access valuable resources for no additional cost.

So there you have it. If this sounds like something you need, the streets of San Francisco are confusing after all, you can head here to snag the app for free.

App Shows Where the Grass Is Greener

By ROY FURCHGOTT

Just in time for this week’s National Medical Marijuana Week, which is intended to make people aware of the therapeutic benefits of marijuana, comes an app designed to make patients aware of legal marijuana dispensaries.

With the prosaic name “Cannabis,” the app maps the locations of doctors who prescribe, dispensaries, lawyers and advocacy organizations in the 14 states where medical marijuana is legal.

If you are not living in a state with legalized medical marijuana, you will see the location of advocate groups like Norml, and lawyers with experience in marijuana law.

The app also searches for overseas locations that dispense marijuana, like Canada, Australia, Spain and Holland.

The database comes from imedicalcannabis.org, and the Patient ID Center in Oakland, Calif. The app was produced for Ajnag (yes, that is Ganja spelled backwards), which stands for Activists Justifying the Natural Agriculture of Ganja, which describes itself as an online site founded as a “real-time cannabis connection center.”

Although it seems to work well enough for me (at least, as a demonstration — I didn’t follow up with the suggested destinations), some people in early iTunes comments said they found it to be glitchy. The app has a page for cannabis news and a link to the Cannabis wiki page, but the main attraction is the location feature.

Destinations that are close by are served up with a map and directions.

Results for distant cities show as a list, not a map — the one feature I might call half-baked.
