#32Walk-in sales indicate these stores are everywhere . It's kind of scary to be honest.
Alcohol is significantly more harmful and dangerous to the body than weed. If anything, this is incredible progress and a much longer way to go.
Yep. I don't think weed will turn out to be harmless, but it’s clearly less harmful than alcohol. From everything I've seen, we’d be far better off as a society moving from liquor to weed.
As someone who came of age drinking with my friends and who avoided weed for law and job reasons, it’s hard for me to wrap my emotional thinking around the concept. It’s still deep in my brain that weed is a bad thing people should avoid. And yet, intellectually I know I'd be better off pouring the liquor in the pantry down the drain and switching to marijuana.

Point of sale APIs.
Hello OP, do you work for sales? So much bluster in your site but so little substance in this answer. Is there a law mandating realtime reporting, or something, or are there just limited number of POS providers and they all have realtime API(s)? I bet the dashboard doesn't have Johnny from my street corner's transaction...
Not sure what more substance you need, we integrate with close to 30 different POS providers, that's it. There is no law mandating realtime reporting. Every transaction from thousands of retailers is represented... What more do you want to know?

See https://www.topshelfdata.com for an example of that. > or are there just limited number of POS providers and they all have realtime API(s)? This is Headset who is probably the largest retail POS provider (amongst other offerings on the producer/processor side and more) for…
Headset isn't a POS, we integrate with essentially all of the POS providers. At the bottom of the page there is a list with sales represented.

#35Cool analysis ... but 420 has been made so cringe now ...
Are you referring to marihuana as a substance or to the 420 as an symbol of it?

Yea it's weird. Even when alcohol is one of the most dangerous substances for some criteria and I'm aware of it I still perceive having a few beers while doing something more acceptable than smoking a joint. The cultural indoctorination is hard.

The irony is my hippie uncle hates how legalization took away a lot of the culture surrounding weed in terms of bonding over the illegally and cooperatively hiding each others "bad habits."
The irony is that these people at least these I know we're the one's banging the drums of freedom of smoking marihuana. Now "corporations stole their culture". Even if I somehow understand it evokes some weird form of disent elitism.

Can I buy everything from Johnny on the corner? He seems like a nice guy and not a snitch

My brain still imagines what a bad example I’d set using weed in front of my kids, but they've seen me sipping a beer after mowing the lawn or having a glass of wine with dinner. Objectively, that's a worse example but it sure doesn't feel like it.
Yes, its weird.
