“This thing is trying to eat my arm…I’m kinda freaking out.”
For the second time in a week, Jimmy Kimmel Live featured a segment about marijuana. This time, it featured WeedMapsTV’s very own commercial for the Autospense, the marijuana vending machine that we told you about earlier this week. Being a late night television show and being Jimmy Kimmel, the machine was naturally poked fun at a bit, but the overall message seemed to be: this device is pretty damn cool. All in all, the increased attention to medicinal marijuana by mainstream news outlets and entertainment can only be a good thing. All press, as they say, is good press.

The Denver Med Can Cup was this past weekend and it was a blast! A high time was most definitely had by all those in attendance. The WeedMaps (and Marijuana.com) crew was celebrating 4/20 the right way throughout the weekend, and if you were at the event, we hope you came by and kicked it with us in our VIP patient area.
We’d also like to extend a hearty thank you and congratulations to our friends at High Times for another stellar weekend of medication and celebration.

Ranked by number of grams sold, these are the 25 most popular medical marijuana strains for March. While Blue Dream again reaped the most money, more individual grams of Sour Diesel were purchased by medical marijuana patients last month. All in all, it appears that these two Sativas have separated themselves from the pack, as no other strain topped the $100,000 mark.
However, if you account for all the varieties of OG Kush that proliferate the shelves of collectives, odds are that the popular (especially in California) Indica dominant strain would be making a play for top honors. Additionally, the biggest riser this month was Durban Poison while Green Crack suffered the biggest drop in sales. As you can see, the medical marijuana industry is thriving in the face of recent adversity:

This WeedMaps and SC Labs poster was on display at the Oaksterdam protests in San Francisco yesterday. If federal authorities actually took the time to study this poster, do you think they’d still use brute force to shut down dispensaries and a peaceful place of education?
