I was under the impression that delivery cannabis in California had to be done by a nonprofit. I remember reading a court case about this a few years ago.

(although a good business model may be to offer free cannabis delivery along with very expensive cheeseburger delivery)

Meadow appears to be yet another middleman service. If you take a look at the website, they are looking for "partners" who will do all of the actual work of holding and delivering the goods.

what is wrong with starting a nonprofit to do this? nonprofits can pay prevailing salaries for engineers and so on. No need for stock options and other trappings.

There's nothing wrong about starting nonprofits. However, from what I read on the website, this appears to be a for-profit company.

Hi, I'm Hua, one of the founders of Meadow.

We're building the tools for dispensaries to better manage their business and a platform that makes it easy for patients to order their medicine.

We only work with top-tier dispensaries that can deliver quality medicine and friendly service.

If you are a California medical cannabis patient, we would love to hear your feedback if you try out the service.

Thanks!

How do you verify the prescriptions of your potential clients?

I don't live in California, but AFAIK prescriptions aren't per order. You get a medical card via a doctor's recommendation, and then present that card to become a member of a medicinal "club" (which probably requires validation with the state that you are properly licensed). If I understand correctly, Meadow then interfaces with these clubs to provide expedited delivery to their members. Essentially, the hard verification work has already been done since only members (with medical cards) can order from the clubs Meadow delivers for.
