How did you not go with weed.ly ku.sh nugg.et ...or whatever the kids are calling the reefer these days.

With the Marvina brand we wanted to stay away from traditional marijuana stereotypes. We want to create something more inclusive than the vibe that most current marijuana businesses give off.

Our two branding rules right now are: 1. No green 2. No puns

Why is everyone just attacking these people without trying the product at all? Does anyone share their scaling plans directly with HN? I'm very put off by the negativity here.

I think this is a great idea. There are a ton of patients who want a great new selection of their medicine delivered to them with no hassle. I'd love to try this service if they actually deliver on the "top shelf" promise. In my experience, not all "top shelf" flowers are made the same. Would be down to try a month though!

What's your long term plan if you don't want to make any money?

Why is this any better than just calling a delivery service that already exists? You get to maintain direct control over the strains you get that way as well. And you don't get any of the promotions from a physical dispensary.

Ex. Magnolia Wellness in Oakland does a $25 3.5g with a donation of $35 or more on Saturday, and 4.5g eighths on Sunday, both of which beat the price per gram of this service.

Please try it out and let us know what you think!

It's cash only right now so if you don't like it you don't even have to remember to cancel before your card gets charged.

We created Marvina for people who don't enjoy picking strains each month. Unless you are fairly knowledgable choosing from the hundreds of strains on the market can be overwhelming.

If you know exactly what strains you want then Marvina probably isn't for you.

I love it. I had this same idea but with a twist- the weed should come in a pillbox like so: http://www.triqplastics.co.uk/upload/U72374_67173.jpg One little container a day, every 4 weeks.

Try it out and let me know what you think!
