The Rise of Marijuana Tech Products 🍁

Last Tuesday, ballot measures to legalize recreational marijuana won out in four new states (California, Maine, Massachusetts, and Nevada). Medical marijuana was also legalized in four other states (Arkansas, Florida, Montana, and North Dakota).

While we have no idea what the recent presidential election means overall for the legalization of marijuana in the U.S. going forward, that isn’t stopping entrepreneurs from creating products and resources centered around the blooming (pun intended) industry. Read on for a look at six interesting products for Mary Jane consumers.

On-demand medical marijuana delivery.

If a dispensary and Postmates had a tech baby, Meadow would be it. If you have a medical marijuana card, you can use this service to order cannabis from local dispensaries and have it delivered right to your door. If you don’t have a medical marijuana card but think you may qualify for one, you can schedule a video conference appointment with a licensed doctor directly through the app. This service is currently only offered in California.

Cannabis culture for all, created by Snoop Dogg.

Merry Jane is becoming something of a hub for cannabis culture-and it all started with Snoop Dogg, the founder. This site serves as a dispensary directory, lifestyle publication, and merchandise store, all in one. Whether you’re looking for the latest news on weed culture, or a resource for understanding and finding the kind of marijuana that best suits you, this is the digital destination you’ve been looking for.

Tinder for cannabis lovers.

This is literally Tinder for cannabis lovers. Use it to connect with people around the world that share a common interest. When you create your account, you can share your consumption, mood, and energy preferences, and the app will pair you with likeminded people. It’ll be interesting to see how an app like this performs-particularly as the legal cannabis culture continues to grow globally.

An infusion machine for cannabis.

This kitchen appliance was built to help you infuse oil and butter with various herbs…including weed. While Levo is certainly not a product build solely for cannabis infusion, that is a viable use case. This product caters to the consumer that is passionate about ingredient control and doesn’t want any unnecessary chemicals in their infused products-marijuana included.

Birchbox for cannabis lovers.

The Happy Crate is exactly what it says it is. This monthly subscription box comes with snacks, activities, and accessories that compliment your marijuana consumption. Read: When you’re high, this box will keep you entertained…and full. Whether you need a snack or a good laugh, this monthly subscription box will satisfy. This makes for a great gift-even if it’s just for you. :-)

The easiest way to grow food and cannabis indoors.

You can grow a variety of plants with the Grobo Smart Grow Box, but cannabis is an interesting application. A few of Grobo’s features include: temperature and humidity control, special photon lights, automatic watering, and a carbon filter that reduces any smells your plant might create. It’s also WiFi-enabled, so you can check in on your plant even when you’re out of town.

It’ll be interesting to see how the cannabis industry continues to grow over the next few years-particularly with recreational legalization in California, a state that tends to be a policy trendsetter.
