This post brought to you by the folks at My CBD.
You’ve got a medical or recreational marijuana dispensary, a pot delivery service, a cbd products site, a seed bank, cannabis dispensary payment processing, or a related business. The cannabis market is big and feels recession-proof. You want to build awareness, rank well in Google for local cannabis-related queries and you want more customers. A good place to start is making sure your business is listed on the following sites:
Top U.S. Local Directories That Allow Marijuana-Related Businesses
Top U.S. Local Directories That Display Marijuana-Related Businesses But Not Categories
Top U.S. Marijuana Dispensary Directories
Top U.S. Local Directories That Allow Marijuana-Related Businesses

Marijuana.ca also lists relevant businesses.
Sol, that site looks, um, half-baked…
http://www.LiftMJ.com is a great way to find producers and strains in Canada.
Haha true Andrew, but it has a decent chunk of traffic.
Nice list, Andrew.
marijuana.ca looks unfinished, unorganized and ugly. On moment got a flash of GeoCity pages.
Agreed. I only put it up there because it was showing up for a lot of queries.
Craigslist is ugly too 😉
i just don’ know what to say here…but traffic is traffic….
Here you go Jim:
http://www.hightimes.com/read/top-10-canadian-strains-all-time-0
FindLocalWeed.com. Can’t believe that wasn’t on the list.
Just fired my researcher Davie
A growing niche for sure.. Never thought about optimizing for this. Probably not a bad idea to build a local marijuana site right now to get in the game.. Not that I have time for that.
Here is my directory a little over a year old ranks well for mmj terms and dispensary searches http://www.homegrownreviews.com/category/dispensary/
Looks good Doug. Thanks for posting.
also to find medical marijuana doctors –
http://www.bestmedicalmarijuanadoctors.com
Andrew,
Thanks for the great resource, I own a number of properties in this niche and will take advantage of these resources!
If you are reading this and agree with any of the list this guy has.. You either dont understand the industry or just dont care. WEEDMAPS being the #1dispensary finder in the world bringing more than 15 patients within 20 mins of an icon open should be the priority. All these other sites are a joke… use google weedmaps and get a free listing on all those other competitors that dont have any visibility.
Hey Justin,
Thanks for stopping by. Either I was unclear in the post or you misunderstood its intent.
I was trying to figure out which directories have the best citation value for dispensaries. This does not necessarily mean which directories drive the most leads.
I agree with you that Weedmaps is a great site and could be the best for driving leads, but based on the data we saw, it was not the top citation used by Google.
Canada’s most comprehensive directory of licensed producers is http://mmjpr.ca
How about wikileaf.com as a resource? They’re the first marijuana dispensary price comparison website.
Check out these as well:
– thcbiz.com/directory.html
and
– 420medicated.com/
State specific:
– coloradommjdirectory.com/
– oregon.gov/oha/mmj/Pages/directory.aspx
Chitowndispensaries.com is a Chicago dispensary directory.
http://legalmarijuanafinder.com is one of the best online resource to find medical marijuana dispensaries, marijuana delivery services, expert medical marijuana doctor and local medical marijuana grower in your local geographic region.
looking for a map that contain listings of mmi locations in USA that we can legally use
does it exist?
thanks
Not sure if there is a one-stop way to license this data. Seems like the best options are to crawl the top sites and/or go to the government sites for each state where it’s legal like this list of marijuana dispensaries in Oregon.
first of all Thank you for providing the list of sites.
My query is are all of them free to register?
I believe many of them have a “freemium” model
not working – coloradommjdirectory.com/
X’d out!
You can also order from a seller such as https://medicalweedonline.org
This is a good one not on your list!
Another good marijuana website and app http://leafedin.org
Been looking for this in awhile. Thanks for putting up the list.
Check out these as well:
Cannabisavenue.net
Weed List (http://weedlist.ca) is a site that provides price comparisons for several online marijuana dispensaries.
