I think as marijuana legalization becomes more of an inevitability, the stigma surrounding this very real market opportunity will disappear. Kudos to you for getting in early.
BTW: I liked the clean design too. It kind of calls you to explore it.
It's a very nice design as other have pointed out. I like the periodic-table-theme for the different strains. And I especially like the detailed page for each strain (e.g. http://www.leaf.ly/hybrid/ak-47 ). However, I wonder if the pie charts are the best way to convey the break-down of each strain. Sure, it makes it easy to see the relative effects for a given strain, but it makes it difficult to visualize the effec…
Thanks, the visualization of effects is definitely something we went back and forth on for a while. Ultimately settled on the pie chart just so we didn't spin for too long, and it's five minute implementation with google charts. Comparing different strains is next on the list for features, have a couple good ideas floating around to make it pretty simple.
Also with that in mind, you could get rid of the Top 5 text list, since the data would be similarly efficiently portrayed visually.
I just didn't know enough about cannabis to really follow thru with it. Plus I came across http://nugporn.com/ and figured there were other strain reviewing sites like it.

Overall the design is quite nice and it's snappy, but I don't really see it as useful. Also, I think the only difference in marijuana strains is the thc %.......
One possibility would be to expand to cover other content like http://www.erowid.org/ if you could vette information and design it as nicely as leafly, I could see that picking up quite a bit of traffic.

That is what we are hoping, November will be the first test for California.

it's not going to happen any time soon. Look at the voting on prop 8 and imagine how much less controversial that is than legalizing weed.
In particular, the state's 1 million Mormons will raise a huge ruckus over anything marriage-related and bring a bunch of other Christian groups into the ring spreading FUD.
Weed, on the other hand, doesn't really have any loud opponents and it's hard to spread FUD around it because it's a pretty familiar topic for Californians and it's already legal medically.
