How is this better than Leaf.ly, Stickyguide or Weedmaps ? http://www.leafly.com/ http://www.stickyguide.com/ http://www.weedmaps.com/

It's designed for quick cross-store comparison shopping and finding suitable replacements. All sites above are designed for browsing stores.

The presentation is pretty good (fairly minimal, which I like), but I think that some autocompletion in those search forms would go a long way. Things like showing autocompletes for town names or strains.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

What do you mean? There's no actual difference in the product.

While I understand the facetiousness of your comment, I should take the opportunity to point out that there are medical strains that are bred (optimized) to treat certain specific conditions. So, the fact that we have medical marijuana does let people create higher-quality (and higher-precision!) products, vis-a-vis available offerings on the black market.

My comment was not intended facetiously in any way. Sure, while certainly the change in legal environment engendered all sorts of new breeding, by and large most medical marijuana is the exact same strains that were (and still are) sold on the illegal market, largely grown by the same people who would be/used to/are growing it for the illegal market.
