WeedMeOnline User's Guide

What is WeedMeOnline?

WeedMeOnline is an all-in-one cannabis companion for adults 21 and older. At its heart is Bud — an AI cannabis concierge who researches real sources and learns your taste — surrounded by strain discovery, a live dispensary and smoke shop finder, a private session journal, real web-discovered gear, pairings, cannabis news, local events, community chat rooms, and a video learning academy.

WeedMeOnline does not sell cannabis. It helps you discover strains, find real licensed businesses near you, and learn — any purchase happens directly with those businesses. Everything you see in the app is real: real dispensaries, real menus where available, real news sources, and honest "still collecting" states when there is nothing to show yet. Nothing is invented.

Getting started

You can try Bud before creating an account: the logged-out home page gives you three free questions, no signup needed. When you are ready for the full app:

1. Create your account with an email address and password (Register).
2. Accept the End User Agreement — every member accepts it once before entering the app.
3. Confirm you are 21 or older. WeedMeOnline is strictly for adults.
4. You are in — the full app is free for every registered member, with no card required.

Every registered member has complete access: Bud chat, the journal, Pairings, Cannabis DNA, the Academy, and everything else. There is no trial and no subscription — it is all free.

Finding your way around

On your phone, the app is organized around five tabs along the bottom:

• Home — your personalized start screen, with Bud front and center.
• Discover — strains, pairings, answers, dispensaries, gear, smoke shops, the Academy, and events.
• Bud (center button) — jump straight into a chat with your AI concierge.
• Community — chat rooms and the latest cannabis news.
• My Weed — your journal, favorites, badges, Academy progress, insights, membership, and settings.

A "More" directory page lists every feature in one place (including the Strain Wizard, News Feed, Events, smoke shops, comparisons, alerts, and feedback), sorted by what you use most. Admin tools appear inside My Weed → Settings for admin accounts only.

Bud — your AI concierge

Bud answers anything cannabis-related: which strains fit a mood, how terpenes and cannabinoids work, dosing basics, consumption methods, or where to find dispensaries near you. He researches real sources on the web and cites where his answers come from.

• Memory — Bud learns your preferences, remembers past conversations, and reads your own journal and activity to tailor recommendations.
• Briefings — Bud can greet you with a personalized briefing on Home, built from your recent activity.
• Check-ins — after you try a strain, Bud may follow up to ask how it worked out.
• Location — share GPS or type a city or ZIP code and Bud suggests real businesses nearby. He never invents a place.

Popular questions asked to Bud become the public Answer Library: in-depth, web-researched answer pages with cited sources, free to read at any time under Discover → Answers — even without an account.
