Level Up Your Cannabis Knowledge with CannaTech

With so many options now available in the retail cannabis market, it can be difficult to find a product that is right for you, especially if you aren't well-versed in the terminology and products themselves.

CannaTech is the intersection of cannabis and technology  and it’s gaining speed as the cannabis industry continues to grow!

To level up your cannabis knowledge you'll need to do a little bit of homework. Begin by researching the types of products available and the differences between them, then visit the store where you plan to purchase your cannabis to see which types they carry. If you're having a hard time getting started, these useful apps and websites will be a great place to start!

WeedMaps App: Search the app to find a nearby dispensary in your area or shop through their extensive list of products and customer reviews to help you make a decision about what products are right for you.

Notes/Google Apps: If you have an oldie but goodie list app on your phone or a Google Doc of your ideal strains waiting to be filled out, it will all be more easily accessible on your mobile through this app. However, keep in mind that not all dispensaries are created equally, so be sure to do your research before visiting one in your area.

Leafly App: This app covers the same ground as WeedMaps and has more listings available in their dispensary finder. It also boasts a larger database of strain information.

The Strainbank: Use this database to create a wish list of strains you'd like to try — or refer back to later — as well as research and read reviews.

Tetragram App: This resource can help you find personalized recommendations based on different factors including mood, age, and location. Just answer a few questions about what you're looking for and the mobile app will generate a list of products that you can try. You can also use their app to track how much cannabis you consume over time and how many doses you've taken!

Linkedin and Cannabis Jobs Forum: Search for a job in a cannabis related field or post your resume to this professional forum to reach potential employers in your region. Find jobs via the Linkedin App.

BONUS: CannaTech Magazine: Read articles and find resources on the cannabis technology industry from industry experts through this magazine's online portal and mobile app.
