How Meadow Is Building a Company and Community Around Cannabis

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&#x27;re selling for twice what we&#x27;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&#x27;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&#x2F;Mexico pull-out&#x2F;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&#x27;t have to take credit!)<p>0. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;medicalcannab.is" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;medicalcannab.is</a><p>1. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.canlii.org&#x2F;en&#x2F;ca&#x2F;fct&#x2F;doc&#x2F;2016&#x2F;2016fc236&#x2F;2016fc236.html?resultIndex=2" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.canlii.org&#x2F;en&#x2F;ca&#x2F;fct&#x2F;doc&#x2F;2016&#x2F;2016fc236&#x2F;2016fc236...</a><p>2. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.canlii.org&#x2F;en&#x2F;on&#x2F;onca&#x2F;doc&#x2F;2000&#x2F;2000canlii5762&#x2F;2000canlii5762.html?searchUrlHash=AAAAAQAJbWFyaWh1YW5hAAAAAAE&amp;resultIndex=3" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.canlii.org&#x2F;en&#x2F;on&#x2F;onca&#x2F;doc&#x2F;2000&#x2F;2000canlii5762&#x2F;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 &quot;grubhub for cannabis&quot; 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: &quot;Is this a marijuana business?&quot;

I know it&#x27;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.
