Key Findings

⚠ Extremely Broad Content License
Weedmaps claims extensive rights to user content including reviews, photos, and strain information. They can use, modify, and commercialize your content without compensation.
"You grant WM Technology a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, and display your User Content."
⚠ No Verification of Dispensary Legitimacy
Despite being a discovery platform, Weedmaps disclaims responsibility for verifying that listed dispensaries are properly licensed or operating legally.
"We do not verify, endorse, or guarantee the legality, licensing status, or quality of any business listed on our platform. Users are solely responsible for verifying compliance with applicable laws."
⚠ Immediate Termination Rights
Weedmaps can terminate accounts immediately without notice or explanation. This applies to both consumers and business accounts.
"We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, for any reason, without notice or liability."
⚠ Mandatory Arbitration
Disputes must go through binding arbitration in California. Class action waivers prevent users from joining together to pursue claims.

Recommendation

For Consumers: Use Weedmaps for discovery but independently verify dispensary licenses through state databases. Do not rely solely on Weedmaps listings for legitimacy.

For Dispensaries: Understand that your listing can be removed without notice. Maintain your own marketing channels and do not depend exclusively on Weedmaps traffic.
