Medical Cannabis Network Takes “420 Friendly” to New Places
New York, New York (PRWEB) April 30, 2015 -- The term “420 Friendly” has evolved from a buzzword used by people in the know, namely marijuana enthusiasts, sort of like a weed speakeasy term. But since the paradigm has shifted in a tectonic way, the term has grown in cultural relevance and consent. It can show up anywhere from Craigslist roommate ads to wedding invitations, letting the reader know that the use of marijuana is implied and more to the point, acceptable.
The Medical Cannabis Network, parent company of MarijuanaDoctors.com and PotLocator.com, is throwing its proverbial hat in the burgeoning ring of Marijuana Tourism by re-launching 420Friendly.com as an aggregator of all things related to tourism in the brave new world of Cannabis Travel.
420Friendly.com began as a website for apparel, but after seeing the potential in a site that could truly be representative of the Cannabis tourism industry and be an ancillary way to enter and support the nation’s exponential recreational market, MCN’s officers made the change. MCN bounded over a legal hurdle, but were able to get a final approval on the trademark for 420Friendly in time for the launch, scheduled for Friday May, 2nd 2015.
420Friendly is designed to let people navigate the nascent yet booming world of Marijuana Tourism by connecting potential adventure seekers with businesses that welcome tourists and travelers looking to use marijuana recreationally. The newly redesigned site can book hotels, car rentals and other travel accommodations. Tourists can even book tours to dispensaries and grow operations or take in any number of marijuana related activities.
Colorado has seen an estimated $300 to 400 million in revenue since the state went legal and of those sales, an estimated 90% were made by people from out of state. For the recent Denver Cannabis Cup, about 70,000 attended the festival at the Denver Mart, however, an estimated 500,000 descended on the state from destinations around the nation and world, right around the week of the holiday that falls on April 20th, commonly referred to as “4/20.”
In four short years, the term “420Friendly” went from getting 16,000 hits as a search term to over 60,000 searches daily.
420Friendly.com is headquartered in the epicenter of the Cannabis Tourism trade in Boulder, Colorado and will focus its efforts on Colorado and Washington. The potential for expansion will run concurrently with those efforts as Washington D.C. is already recreational, California is on the cusp of going the same way and New York…well New York is always the number one destination for world weary travelers and could see a spike in tourism as its Medical Marijuana Program comes online.
