MENDOCINO Co., 2/27/17 — “At MyWeedhopper.com, our goal is getting you the right cannabis for the right occasion at the right time,” explained Tom Girdauskas, Mendocino-based co-founder of a new cannabis mobile web-based app, launching today. California’s cannabis industry is poised to transition into both commercial medical and recreational markets, but many in the Emerald Triangle are wondering just how a newly regulated cannabis economy will impact their businesses, lives, and their communities. With these ideas in mind, Girdauskas and his partners created MyWeedhopper.com, which they envision as “as a mix between Facebook and Ebay to create a social community that supports local Mendocino businesses.”
It’s clear that there are big changes ahead for everyone living on the north coast, who have long enjoyed a unique culture in what’s known across the world as the premier cannabis growing region of the country. But the Emerald Triangle is now entering a climate of commercial sales and legal recreational use, that is fundamentally reshaping what a cannabis based business is, while simultaneously creating spaces and venues for new ancillary businesses such as compliance consultants and cannabis accountants. Now there are not only farmers and dispensaries, but transporters, testing labs, and distributors, and Girdauskas and his partners are stepping into this emerging market. They see their mission as facilitating cooperation between Mendocino businesses and farmers, and providing both with a new avenue to market themselves and take advantage of new opportunities in the legal industry.
