How are you getting the data? As far as I know, the dispensaries don&#x27;t have APIs, so are you just going in and scanning their menus every day? This is actually pretty useful in that you can then comparison shop different dispensaries.<p>Meanwhile, it will be interesting to see what the federal legal response will be to the various medical cannabis related startups i&#x27;ve seen popping up. In general, it looks like the road to legalization is pretty open (well, if stoners voted and orange county didn&#x27;t...), but production and distribution still need to be addressed if you&#x27;re really going to remove the criminal element (which you should).<p>Anyone know anything about the current legal climate around cannabis in California? Specifically, increase&#x2F;decrease in raids&#x2F;legitimacy&#x2F;rules of&#x2F;around medical dispensaries and current situation wrt supplying them? Still seems to me to be totally fubar thanks to otherwise unemployable crazy old people...

Absolutely HORRIBLE usability dude! What the hell were you thinking including a search box with no guide on what to search for?<p>Here&#x27;s a simple tip: Get rid of the search, just ask for the zip code. Then afterwards, allow some sort of filters.

I&#x27;d like to see that filter menu on the front page. I don&#x27;t know my flowers, so having that be the only initial filter&#x2F;search method left me in the dark.

How do I find &quot;normal&quot; weed? Is it only medical?
