I don't smoke for any reason, but great name for this.
Thanks!
We really want to bring people together and believe that Meadow embodies that.

#32I 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)
I always thought the delivery pizza business was set to be revolutionised by legal marijuana.
Friday special, two large pizzas and a dime bag...

#34There are lots of dispensary that deliver. For example, you can find them by checking the Delivery search filter on https://weedmaps.com.
Not sure what the value add is here.

#35I am mostly surprised that we have an "uber for XYZ" cropping up, as opposed to a general-purpose delivery service winning out, like postmates.
this makes me think - perhaps most of the value in the delivery service is the catalog of specific goods you want, and less so how they will actually get it to you. for example - sure postmates could deliver medical marijuana, but perhaps not the exact strain you prefer to treat your affliction.
interesting too - the delivery will probably just get easier over time, particularly if we ever figure out the rules for commercial drones. so focus on catalogs of stuff people really want (catalogs that don't already exist).

#36sigh. we don't have anything like this in vancouver, BC. supposedly the chest thumping and shouting BC BUD now seems embarassing.
You guys have MMPR though, online ordering, credit card payment, overnight shipping. Would take that any day over dealing with cash and a delivery guy coming to my house.

#37Earlier quoted context omitted.
Of course! I completely agree with you, but at the same time a large number of people also just like to get high, and there's nothing wrong with that either. In fact it's so incredibly easy to get a medical card that I'm sure a very large percentage of card holders just like to get high (again, nothing wrong with that, we should 100% legalize it imo). Anyway, I'm just saying that when you start a service like this, i…
Ditto for the actual product names. Selling a strain of cannabis with the name "Girl Scout Cookies" will do little to help earn the tolerance of anyone who might be on the fence about the legality of cannabis. I recognize getmeadow doesn't name the product, so they're limited in how they can effect this. It's something the category needs to address though.
Not to mention Green Crack and Alaskan Thunder Fuck.
Strain names are all behind closed doors where sellers aren't trying to convince anybody of anything.

#39I'm curious why you went with the purple color scheme and that particular logo. The branding doesn't really come across as anything medical marijuana related but perhaps this is something you were going for.
To me it feels like they were deliberately trying to avoid using shades of green, and at least in RGB colourspace, purple/magenta (FF00FF) is basically the opposite of green (00FF00).
Re: Show HN: Meadow – Medical cannabis delivered to your door
#40A few questions spring to mind: The interface is obviously image-heavy, do you perhaps plan to offer photography services to your partners (a la AirBNB in the early days)? Also, pricing/availability can vary significantly from week to week and dispensary to dispensary, in addition to the cycle of daily promotions many clubs employ, and other broader discounts (like those offered to patients with terminal illnesses, f…
Hi Sahara,
Patients need to know the quality of the medicine that they are receiving so we really wanted to focus on the photography of the products.
You raise a great point on promotions and one that we are well aware of. Each dispensary is different on how they engage with their patients. We'll do our best to onboard our partners thoughtfully and build the tools that help them run their business.
Thanks!
