The major online pot shop directory and
cannabis marketplace Weedmaps announced
Wednesday that it will no longer allow black-
market businesses to advertise on its site, a
decision that could boost California’s efforts to
rein in its vast illegal market.
State regulators and licensed businesses had
been pressuring the company to ban unlicensed
businesses. Allowing untaxed, unregulated
product on the site alongside the taxed
marijuana of licensed and regulated stores
undercut the legal market, they said.
