Crowdsourcing The Price Of Weed
Daniel Neville
We all love a good deal, whether its where to get the best deals on house hold good, discounts on tickets for concerts etc, name it they love it. So I suppose it was only a matter of time before they started looking for the best prices in marijuana. Introducing The Price Of Weed.com
And what better way to do this other than turning to the power crowdsourcing and the wisdom and mass intelligence that comes with it. Yes you hear that correctly The Price of Weed crowdsource, straight from the consumer, where in and around the world you can get the best quality marijuana at the best prices.
What makes this site interesting is the use of crowdsourcing for something that has no direct commercial benefit or revenue stream and on top of that its promoting something that it still illegal around most of the world. Having said that they are providing info an a product that most people have used or at least tried once in their life time and the amount of data they could conceivably collect is massive. Hey the cops could also cotton on to this and use it as a crime fighting tool….
Anyone can contribute to the community by grading marijuana in your area according to quality and price. So if you are in say London, you can just go on the site, check out the local prices and quality before you decide to make a purchase. Crowdsourcing of this kind is sure to cause some issues in terms of ethical and morals but overall it is a good concept and I am more excited about how a similar platform could be used for other more legal products and activities…
