First, Weedmaps Took Over California's Medical-Marijuana Industry. Now, It's Going Global
The headquarters of Weedmaps, the most influential company in California's medical-marijuana industry, is hidden inside a gray, two-story office building at the intersection of Irvine Center Drive and Discovery in Irvine. Inside the green-accented lobby, the first hint that you've just entered a 420-friendly business is a faint trace of marijuana odor. At just after 10 a.m. on a recent Wednesday, the phone at the front desk is ringing incessantly, the office is hopping with vendors dropping off samples, and UPS has arrived with three large boxes.
Inside his first-floor office, Doug Francis, the company's newly appointed CEO, is proudly pointing at his fully stocked Vinotemp wine refrigerator, which has a few extra bottles standing on top of it. "Weed and wine are essential," he says. "Weed-and-wine Wednesdays are soon going to be a recurring event on our calendar."
