The Weedmaps crew had a packed June connecting with the community and popping up at events across the country. Here’s what we’ve been up to 👇 📍Nixa, MO — We hosted an industry night at the Treehouse Lounge alongside Headchange, Proper Brands, and Ace Solventless. From product sampling to Mario Kart showdowns, this event was all about strengthening local partnerships and creating space for the community to connect and unwind. 📍Denver, CO — In celebration of Go Skate Day, we pulled up to local skateparks with boards, swag, and cold water in hand. We gave away a new deck to the skater with the best trick, and more importantly, created an space that brought together skaters, cannabis enthusiasts, and creatives. 📍 Mesa, AZ — We joined our friends at JARS Cannabis for Cannaval, a full-blown summer beach party at Revel Surf Parks. With surf competitions, skate demos, and art installations, this event wasn’t just fun, the day was packed with nonstop energy and good vibes. The turnout from budtenders, consumers, and industry insiders highlighted the strength of Arizona’s growing cannabis scene. 📍 San Diego, CA — We made it out to the iconic 45th Annual Ocean Beach Chili Cook-Off with Buzz Cannabis. From morning until close, Ocean Beach was packed with chili tastings, and non-stop energy. Events like these give us the chance to build real connections with the local community and show up where it matters. 📍Sapulpa, OK — We teamed up with Deepwell Cannabis and Five Leaf Labs for the Pot Shots 3 Paintball Tournament, where eight teams from across the Oklahoma cannabis industry faced off for the ultimate bragging rights. We set up a lounge with shade, snacks, and ice-cold drinks to keep the vibes high all day long. We’re proud to be a part of events that center culture, community, and connection. Stay tuned for what we do next. ✌️ #cannabiscommunity #cannabisculture

Big News for California’s Cannabis Industry: The State Assembly has unanimously approved AB 564, a bill to delay the scheduled cannabis excise tax increase from 15% to 19%, which was originally set to take effect July 1. Here’s what it means: ✋ Tax hike delayed — The excise tax will stay at 15% until at least 2030–2031, giving legal businesses much-needed breathing room. 🌱 Industry support — UFCW warns the hike would have driven more closures and fueled the illicit market. 📝 Fast-track potential — Advocates hope to incorporate the measure into a budget trailer bill for faster implementation.

We had a great time popping up across the country this May, here's what Weedmaps has been up to 👇 📍San Francisco, CA - We joined the iconic Bay to Breakers footrace and street party, a tradition since 1912. In a sea of costumes and runners, we showed up to support with free water, high vibes, and of course, helping people catch that runner’s high. It was a chance to show how cannabis fits into wellness and celebration. 📍Miami, FL - We teamed up with Wizard Trees for a Sunday flow session in on the beach. Attendees were gifted curated swag bags and guided through a mindful yoga practice designed for plant lovers. It was a moment to slow down, stretch out, and learn more about how Weedmaps supports conscious cannabis use. 📍Denver, CO – We popped up at Migas Local Coffee Shop and gave out free coffee and swag to early risers. Beyond the caffeine boost, we had great convos about local brands, the Weedmaps app, and how cannabis fits into everyday routines. 📍Tucson, AZ – We sponsored JARS Cannabis’s epic Skate Jam and brought the energy with exclusive Weedmaps x Hemper boxes, giveaways, and gear. Watching local skaters rip and roll while we shared info about the plant was a reminder of how deeply cannabis and culture are connected. 📍Columbus, OH – We joined a hands-on How to Roll workshop with the Queer Cannabis Collective, supplying attendees with everything needed to build the perfect joint. Led by industry educators, this session was more than just skill-building, it was about empowering new consumers in safe, educational spaces. Thanks to everyone who came through.
