The latest trend in retail mapping appears to be tracking the street price of marijuana. Cannaberg.com is a Google Map monitoring the current strains and prices of weed at different locations around the world.
This isn’t exactly a new idea. The guys behind The Price of Weed have long been enterprising supporters of the free market in wacky baccy. In order to gauge the true street value of this globally traded product the Price of Weed are also trying to crowdsource the cost of marijuana and display the results on a handy Google Map.
Another huge step was taken this morning in the effort to legalize marijuana beyond the current medical-use constraints. The California Assembly’s Public Safety Committee voted 4 to 3 to approve A.B. 390, the Marijuana Control, Regulation, and Education Act, which is the legislation that would tax and regulate marijuana in a manner similar to alcohol.
OC senior citizens form medical-pot collective
LAGUNA WOODS, Calif. — It’s the last place you might expect to find hundreds of people smoking pot: But seniors living at the Laguna Woods Village retirement community — also known as “Leisure World” — have formed a non-profit, patient-run medical marijuana collective.
Golf is a way of life at Laguna Woods Village, also known as “Leisure World.”
But now many seniors there are trying out a different type of “green.”
A lot of media reports about the medical marijuana dispensary issue report the number of facilities within Los Angeles to be around, give or take, one thousand. After an thorough investigation, though, the LA Weekly found that’s not the case.
“During a two-month investigation, the Weekly’s reporting team drove 950 miles, made approximately 1,400 phone calls, and determined there are some 545 pot shops operating in Los Angeles city limits,” emphasized Patrick Range McDonald on the Weekly’s news blog today.
That’s because, despite the 1,000-dispensary myth being broken in November, media reports and city councilmembers continue to use the number. NPR, The Wall Street Journal and even the Daily News have all recently reported the higher-than-realistic number.
Even the LA Times said the number was lower than thought of months ago on their “Where’s the Weed” map. “Many of the applications are no more than paper filed to secure future rights,” the paper stated. “Among those are the 58 registered at 8619 Reseda Blvd.”

Although there are 966 dispensaries registered in the city, some are not open (and there’s definitely the possibility that some are not registered).
When residents in the Eagle Rock area found nearly a dozen facilities in a 2-mile radius, they petitioned City Hall for a say in how the shops are approved.
