The second API, the Order API, allows developers to integrate WeedMaps’ database with tools to get orders on any of their menu items that have been synced directly into their point-of-sale application.

Come 2013, General Cannabis Incorporated sold all assets back to the Weedmaps’ original founders Justin Hartfield and Keith Hoerling.
