The other main division, WeedMaps Media, operates the website.
The site helps people find medicinal-cannabis dispensaries,
which pay a fee to be listed. WeedMaps already covers 1,800 of
the country's roughly 2,000 dispensaries. So growth here will
depend in part on more states approving medical marijuana.
Another way to get pure-play exposure to medical marijuana is
through ArcView Angel Network. It's a startup that helps people
with at least $50,000 find and invest in medical-marijuana-
related business in areas like insurance, packaging, consumption
devices and growing supplies. It doesn't raise money for
dispensaries or growers.  ArcView Group CEO Troy Dayton says a
few hundred investors and entrepreneurs have already contacted
him. Dayton's partner, Steve DeAngelo, runs a large dispensary
called Harborside Health Center in Oakland, Calif., so they have
some direct experience with the business.  A real drug company
GW Pharmaceuticals (GWPRF, news) of Britain is one of the safer
pot-related investment play
