The marijuana social network Kannatopia is aiming high, as well it should, since the legal cannabis industry is getting off the ground in Illinois, and signs are that investors are willing to pump money into such businesses nationally.
The startup is now a part of the incubator 1871, Chicago Inno reported, and expects to have a website and app into beta by November. Kannatopia has a simple proposition: You may not want to publicize your affinity for marijuana on the dominant forms of social media — see: Twitter (NYSE: TWTR) or Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) — over professional or other social concerns, so why not sign up for a dedicated social network of like-minded people?
