The DEA is now looking into moving marijuana off schedule I. That would make it a regular prescription drug, with regular prescriptions, distribution through pharmacies, and insurance coverage. If that happens, the whole "dispensary" business will collapse.
They're selling for twice what we're[0] selling for in Winnipeg. More than twice, if you count for the exchange rate. Marijuana is decriminalized in Canada right now (<i>Allard v. Canada</i>, 2015[1], <i>R. v. Parker</i>, 2000[3]).<p>If you guys were in Canada, I'd be terrified right now. Thankfully, this blue ocean is undisturbed by the ycombinator fish thus far.<p>Post April 21st, when the UN convenes, and Canada/Mexico pull-out/renegotiate three of their treaties, the U.S. might be pulled in as a result, and Obama can quietly brag about Marijuana being legalized under his administration (and he doesn't have to take credit!)<p>0. <a href="http://medicalcannab.is" rel="nofollow">http://medicalcannab.is</a><p>1. <a href="http://www.canlii.org/en/ca/fct/doc/2016/2016fc236/2016fc236.html?resultIndex=2" rel="nofollow">http://www.canlii.org/en/ca/fct/doc/2016/2016fc236/2016fc236...</a><p>2. <a href="http://www.canlii.org/en/on/onca/doc/2000/2000canlii5762/2000canlii5762.html?searchUrlHash=AAAAAQAJbWFyaWh1YW5hAAAAAAE&resultIndex=3" rel="nofollow">http://www.canlii.org/en/on/onca/doc/2000/2000canlii5762/200...</a> [210]
The Meadow team seems to be doing a great job. getMeadow.com is really well done and their move into dispensary inventory management software and a POS system is impressive. I have been following them closely and I was wondering if their move into inventory management might have been due to dispensaries not being that interested in a grubhub style ordering service. I am curious about this because I have been working on a "grubhub for cannabis" site of my own and I have found dispensary interest in this SaaS product to be tepid.
I wonder what kind of regulations exist for Meadow. When I opened up a business (not marijuana related) bank account in Colorado, they only had one question: "Is this a marijuana business?"
I know it's an unpopular view here, but I hope Meadow fails and that the tide of opinion turns against marijuana legalisation and the Big Dope lobby.
