Show HN: Premium Medical Marijuana Subscription – SF Only

So it gets delivered. And it is cash-only. How does that work? COD? I assume someone must be there to accept the delivery anyway (as apposed to just leaving it at the door). So I guess you just pay the person delivering it?

> You really should look into adding some kind of online payment integration (Stripe is very easy to get up and running if the allow it for this market).

That's the hard part. Stripe's rules say you need to pay by Visa and MC's rules. It's hard to get merchant accounts for business like this. People selling porn have a hard time getting merchant accounts and everyone agrees that's legal.

I think lanaius was violating rule 2.

The only thing wonky about this is the price. I really like the idea of having curated, nice strains delivered.

However, this is really a service for aficionados, (I think?.. who else would possibly smoke even an eighth a month regularly).

There is no problem getting mega-high quality herb delivered like 'right now' for cheaper than this.. if I were to subscribe to this service (I am not in SF) I would prefer a discount for a subscription lock-in.

This to me is like subscribing to a monthly-book.. where you send me a random book you think I'll like and charge me more-than-retail for it... when I can just get a book (even with recommendation.. every dealer will talk ad-nauseum about their strains) delivered instantly for ever-lower than 'retail' prices.

Curated delivery is good.. prices are a bit steep compared to the market. I smoke more weed than easily 95% of HNers; and I would pay for a subscription service.. but only if that service offered me more value than I could get from any halfway decent distributor (which I think is .. and maybe I am just wrong here .. very very difficult to do), or if it were cheaper than calling them.

I wish you guys luck. 420blazeiterrdayetc

You do realize that the fed does more or less what it wants?: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/24/dea-raid-medical-ma...
