One of the domain name related things that I’ve been working on over the past year+ is assembling a portfolio of marijuana/weed/pot domain names – mostly geographic based one. I have hand registered, purchased at auction, and purchased directly from owners these domains. My normal strategy when it comes to domains is to buy domains that I believe I can sell in less than 12 months for a solid profit. I do not enjoy sitting on domains, though it is inevitably going to happen a percentage of the time.
This portfolio I have compiled breaks my traditional strategy as I think this is a few year investment, unless someone wants to get out ahead of everyone else and try to corner the market today and makes a respectable offer on them. Even though I own some nice geo ones relating to Colorado (which approved recreational marijuana starting this year), such as ColoradoWeed.com, ColoradoPot.com, and DenverWeed.com, the regulated market in Colorado will need to develop before these domains reach their potential. But once Colorado and Washington get fully set up the adaption rate and set up time for other states will move very rapidly as they will see those tax dollars in their eyes.
So what’s the portfolio? Here it is:

Nothing beats mine
I have a hard time believing these will ever be valuable. Take a look at Namebio (http://namebio.com/) and search domains ending in -beer, -liquor, -cigarettes, -cigars, etc.
I know it’s a different market, but I think they are similar enough to compare. Liquor is probably the best comparison because it’s something that you have to (typically) go to a specialized store to buy.
I wish you all the best with your domains but personally, I’m staying out of geo + marijuana. I don’t see the value.
I don’t see a relation to cigarettes or liquor because you can buy them in a supermarket, gas station, etc… and for marijuana this will not be the case anytime soon (maybe 20+ years out if that). The market for cigarettes has been around forever and Prohibition ended 80 years ago for liquor so there’s been 80 years of infrastructure set up there. Marijuana is a new market, just getting off the ground (legally), and in a new market gaining reach to the consumers will determine who wins and who loses more times then not. One way to gain reach is through domain names. Whether you want to establish yourself as the market leader, or if you are a company that is playing catch up, domains names can help either one meet their goals.
Jacob, I don’t think the liquor analogy holds true.
I have 100 or so liquor domains, operate a dozen or so liquor websites, and have sold a handful of liquor domains (unreported).
The last offer I had for a liquor domain (which I turned down) was mid four figures for a domain I got on the drop.
Liquor such as single malt whisky is a specialist item, with a premium price tag that translates well to online global sales. Some whiskies are very hard to find locally and the only way to buy is online – seems a good market to me.
Jacob….
the problem you don’t see the value is because you live in TEXAS.
I am in WA and I get a chance to see how this marijuana industry revolves every day.
Getting my paperwork ready to get the license to grow,process and distribute.
I only have one. CannabisTruck.com It is for sale.
Hey man
Can’t fault your strategy, it’s very speculative but then few strategies aren’t in this business. I think marijuana domains have more potential value than all of that 3D crap a couple of years ago or a lot of the other trends we’ve seen.
That said, I’ve listed my domain MarijuanaSupply.com over at Flippa because I could do with some liquidity to make other investments right now.
Check it out if you’re interested…

Hahaha! Your strategy is so ridiculous I don’t know whether it is a joke or for real.
Seriously?!!!
You bought/won at auction/hand reg’ed all those worthless domains? What a big waste of your money.
I am also in the “marijuana” domaining biz, but my strategy makes much of sense.
Sorry to break it to you but NO ONE will ever pay for your portfolio.
Keep dreaming.
Your strategy of ….? Normally when someone takes an opposing side they state that side. I guess if you intentionally leave it open you can’t technically be wrong since never had the balls (so you’re squeezing a figment of your imagination) to state it.
The only domain that beats MARIJUANAGUY.COM is ILoveMarijuana.com but alas, I am a fool and did not jump on that when it was available. Everyday, I squeeze my balls and cause great pain to myself to remind me what once in a lifetime opportunity that was.
Yo yo yo..someone stole my “BullS identity.
Show me your balls!!!
