The age of technology has presented us with many different gadgets and tools to help enhance activities of daily live, often making them easier to conduct and possible to track and record. Among these are smartphone applications, or apps. These pieces of software have been developed to augment scores of different activities, from shopping and exercise to navigation and communication. And cannabis users have certainly not been left out of this picture, with many different cannabis-themed apps available. Apps range from those that assist with growing weed to those that provide cooking recipes, and truly everything in between.
1. WEEDMAPS
Weedmaps is a cannabis user’s best friend. This highly sophisticated piece of software was created to assist cannabis users in finding dispensaries and other points of sale.
The app works on an international scale and can be used to find the best cannabis dispensaries within California, all the way to the most popular cannabis clubs in Barcelona, Spain.
The app uses a Google Maps-style navigation visual that pinpoints all of the dispensary locations within your local area and further afield.
As well as helping you find the best outlets within your neighbourhood, Weedmaps also provides the menus and prices of most establishments, allowing you to browse options before you leave your house and make the journey to go and procure some bud. The app also provides in-depth strain reviews that discuss strength, effect, and flavour, helping you discover a strain with the exact traits you are interested in before commiting to a purchase.

3. GROWTRONIX

The cannabis industry has also adopted such tech, and now with apps such as a Growtronix, cannabis users can implement it within their own homes. The app is designed to work with various pieces of hardware that allow for complete automation of every aspect of the growing process. The system works using a series of sensors and controllers, and is capable of running and monitoring lighting, pumps, air conditioning, humidifiers, valves, door locks, heaters, CO₂ systems, exhaust systems, smoke detectors, flood detectors, pH levels, and soil temperature. Many of these systems can also be overridden and controlled from afar with an internet connection, allowing you to make necessary changes to the environment, even when you are away from home.
