Apps rarely get the praise they deserve nowadays. With new apps coming out seemingly every minute, it's hard keeping track of the latest and greatest way to monitor your heartbeat while working out, or how to send kiss face emojis to your new girlfriend if you feel so inclined.
If you're lucky enough to have a business in the cannabis industry however, new apps have been a vital way for businesses to change society's misconceptions about the once thought "devil weed", as well as merge tech-stoners with more convenient ways of accessing high quality cannabis. With marijuana dispensaries taking advantage of app technology such as
Weedmaps, Leafly, and others in an attempt to familiarize their clientele with speedy weed service, it was only right that the industry drop its own app for the stoner that can't seem to go a minute without text messaging their friends.
Deemed as the "worlds first FREE Cannabis Emoji Keyboard", Emojiuana, launched this month by weed app developer James Bo Keyes, combines your favorite emojis with marijuana humor all "4 your Love of Bud." Teaming up with the best emoji keyboard app company in the business at a Forbes U30 summit, Keyes embarked on his quest for developing a weed app that marijuana patients and recreational users alike can have fun communicating with in their everyday lives.
From lit astronauts to bags of marijuana, the weed app features a plethora of marijuana related stickers, emojis, and gifs to keep even the most introverted stoner entertained, while at the same time being able to integrate with smartphone keyboards and social media networks for sharing. Although the new weed app is currently free to download, it is rated "Mature" and intended for people over the age of 17, due to suggestive marijuana use.
Marijuana Packaging had a chance to have a light-hearted interview with James Bo Keyes, the creator of Emojiuana, to get first hand insight on how the weed app was developed and what we can expect in the future from him.
