It appears a stay has been issued by the Governor: https://twitter.com/grahambrewer/status/649327710699831296

Like the Amazon Dash Button, this is a great reminder of how hardware is still useful in the age of touchscreen interfaces.

As a CMU grad it was kind of a gut punch when I heard about this. However, I'm confident that the CMU robotics program will be just fine in the long run.

The thing that worries me more is if this makes universities afraid of partnering with companies like Uber in the future.

Yeah, he's right. Lots of dispensaries take credit cards. Most do by flying under the radar or just lying on their application. Some merchant services providers are willing to work knowingly with marijuana businesses, but they are taking a risk doing it.

Getting a card-not-present account (which is what you would want) is even harder. As far as I know nobody has done it in a legit way.

Background: I'm the co-founder of Marvina (https://marvina.com) and I've been trying to figure out payments for almost a year. There's reason to be optimistic, but so far nothing big has broken.

This is the kind of stuff we deal with every day: http://mmjbusinessdaily.com/breaking-mbank-to-close-all-cann...

Thanks for the encouragement!

Absolutely! We have our eyes on topicals, edibles, and concentrates. That's really where the market is moving. Look out for an edibles only Marvina box soon!

Until then I'd recommend docGreen's cannabis infused creams. I think you can pick them up at SPARC in San Francisco.

We believe that cannabis should be taken as seriously as any other business.

Hopefully soon this won't be a topic that people are afraid to bring up in polite company.

Correct. You also have to be there because only the person with the doctor's recommendation can accept the delivery.

Thanks for the encouragement!

If only we could use Stripe! Unfortunately marijuana is specifically mentioned in their list of prohibited businesses: https://stripe.com/us/prohibited-businesses

Well that's certainly a concern. We hope that everything about the experience will make people want to stick with it. Even if you are educated about marijuana strains its a better customer experience than going to a dispensary or using traditional delivery.

Yes cash-only for now. We've considered Bitcoin but unfortunately all of the popular Bitcoin payments companies don't work with marijuana businesses.

Try it out and let me know what you think!

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.

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.

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

It's not very hard. In California a doctor can give you a recommendation for any condition for which marijuana may be helpful. This includes things like stress, anxiety, insomnia...

I've got with these guys, they have two offices in SF and an online appointment scheduler: http://green215.com

Also you usually aren't given a court-appointed lawyer unless you are also facing other criminal charges.

I think the issue mark-r was talking about is that the property is seized before any sort of due process has concluded. Also, if the government doesn't bring a case against you you have to actively fight to get your property back. So if your car is seized and neither party takes any further action the default behavior is the government now owns your car. [someone correct me if I'm wrong about this]

He enjoyed being mayor so much, you could say the job really was keeping him alive. The genuine enjoyment that he got from his job was truly inspirational.
