I'm not afraid of anything legally.. I'm just concerned that dispensary advertising revenues would be low because they are being systematically shut down and/or going to a delivery-only model.

I live in SF and there used to be a dispensary on virtually every block. Today many have closed.. so while i'm not concerned about any sort of prosecution, i am concerned that dispensary ad revenues may not justify development and operational costs. Make sense? In short, i'm concerned that the (once GREAT) revenue model may not be viable in today's current MMJ legal climate.

Gotcha.

While things are taking a turn for the worse right now in Cali, other states are just now legalizing. So IMO there would always be good advertising revenues if you don't focus solely on California. While they may not be what they once were, I think they would be well worth the effort.

The way I look at it is that it is a growing industry. Too many states have legalized at this point to all fall back into nothing IMO.

Weedmaps is definitely the leader right now. Get the search engine rankings and cut your price lower and you shouldn't have a problem getting the advertising bucks. These dispensaries are BANKING and IMO would throw you the advertising money even if they are already advertising on Weedmaps. More customers to them = more $$ in their pocket. Of course tie in all of the other avenues for income as Weedmaps has over the past few years.

I still meet many people who have not heard of Weedmaps.

I am about to take off for the day but will be in touch tomorrow for sure.
