PALM BEACH, Florida, September 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

The cannabis industry is estimated in the billions of dollars annually with the market continuing to expand at an impressive rate as well as dispensaries popping up all throughout the country and North America. The latest innovation in technology and industry targeted services supporting the cannabis markets are allowing consumers to find their CBD and legal marijuana products of interest or even locating the nearest dispensary which in the end result is boosting the already impressive cannabis economy as a whole. Active companies in the market today include: Leafbuyer Technologies Inc. (OTC: LBUY), Kush Bottles Inc. (OTC: KSHB), 22nd Century Group Inc. (NYSE: XXII), Medical Marijuana Inc. (OTC: MJNA), and Aurora Cannabis Inc. (OTC: ACBFF) (TSX: ACB.TO).

Leafbuyer Technologies, Inc. (OTC: LBUY), a leading cannabis technology platform, announced today an expanded partnership with Voice Media Group , one of the nation's largest diversified media organizations. This expanded partnership broadens the advertising relationship first established between Leafbuyer and Voice Media Group in Q4 of 2016. Together, the two companies installed a customized application on the marijuana section of Westword.com, helping visitors discover Leafbuyer deals on their favorite cannabis-related products. "Our clients immediately praised the influx of new business, and we are building off that success as we expand into other legal markets," said Leafbuyer's VP of Business Development, Mark Breen. Read this and more news for Leafbuyer Technologies at: http://www.marketnewsupdates.com/news/lbuy.html .

Given the rapid legalization of marijuana across the nation and Leafbuyer's transition into a public company (OTC: LBUY), expanding the partnership nationwide was a natural fit. Kurt Rossner, CEO of Leafbuyer stated, "We believe the added distribution footprint will greatly enhance our ability to attract new customers in areas outside of Colorado. This is a very important step as we continue to push forward for a truly national base of consumers."

Special offers from Leafbuyer's dispensary and product clients will appear in marijuana and music related pages of the following Voice Media Group websites: Westword, LA Weekly, Phoenix New Times, and Toke of the Town . In all, the online tool will reach over one million page views per month. "We had partnered with Leafbuyer for our Westword Magazine in Denver six months ago. It was an easy decision to include them in all markets on our Marijuana related sections. The Cannabis industry is one of the fastest growing industries to date and our partnership with Leafbuyer has provided valuable content for our users," said Scott Tobias, CEO of Voice Media Group.
