These Weed Snobs Show Why Pot Can Be Just as Snooty as Wine

Weedmaps markets itself via parody videos

Weedmaps, a Yelp-like service focused on pot, wants to show that marijuana can be just as sophisticated as alcohol. But it's hard for a company named Weedmaps to buy ad space, and it had to get a little creative with its marketing.

That's why it hosts WeedmapsTV on YouTube where it has more than 100,000 subscribers, and it just put out its latest video.
