We've seen a lot of unexpected, and sometimes cool, iPhone apps approved by Apple, but today's news might top the rest. Apple has approved a marijuana--that's right, marijuana--app called "Cannabis," which lets users find the nearest (don't worry: legal) supplier of medicinal marijuana.

Created by the founder of Ajnag.com, which was founded in 2006 and was the first medicinal marijuana locater on the Web, the new app is quick and easy to use. Simply open it up on your iPhone or iPod Touch and you'll see a map with the nearest distributors. The app gives you information on each of the locations, and even step-by-step directions with Google Maps.

That's not all, though--the creators thought of everything. If you run into any, erm, legal troubles with your newly-secured marijuana, Cannabis also gives you the locations of the nearest lawyers who specialize in marijuana cases. And, if you happen to live in one of the 37 states where marijuana is not legal, the app also provides you with the location of the nearest marijuana activist groups--so you can do your part to promote reform.

Cannabis provides the locations of legal marijuana locations in the 13 states where medical marijuana is legal, as well as in the parts of Europe where marijuana use is legal.

It will not point you to your local dealer in Golden Gate park or to the nearest White Castle, though, so potheads should save themselves the $2.99 download fee.

But, if you're a legitimate user of medicinal marijuana, and you often find yourself in situations where you absolutely must obtain some, then, good lord, get thee to the App Store!

(is jealous of medical state residents)

I feel apple will likely be sued for middle manning a drug deal/transaction at some point in the near future.

 

[monstanoodle]

Well you could argue that "minors" are able to find "Alcohol dispensaries" in a similar manner I guess, but yea I doubt that would fly in court.

 

[Too many doses]

all this marijuana decriminlizations gonna leave me without a jobbb

So you post on public forums that you sell drugs, you might want to watch what you say as this isn't the first time I've seen somebody warning you that it ain't smart to advertise such endevors.

^ I think he was making a joke. Either way, what he said in clearly non-specific terms is not likely to be held against him because it would hold no weight without connected evidence and at that point if they've got connected evidence they really don't need to show that you were joking around on a website to substantiate that.
