An example box on Marvina’s website shows the contents of a Sativa-heavy package (marijuana that’s more likely to induce feelings of excitement than lethargy) and an Indica one (more likely to cause drowsiness.) In the Sativa package is “1 heavy eight of jack herer, 1 gram Sour Diesel, 1 gram Blue Dream, and 1 gram SFV OG.” All told, less than $100 — and most importantly, legal.Legal, eh?

"Enter Marvina, a high-end weed subscription service with the ability to deliver a glossy black box of curated pot..."
"... to anyone in San Francisco with a medical marijuana card and a wallet. Partnered with experienced budtenders at a local dispensary, Marvina combines the ease of delivery with the luxury of an expert calling the shots."

Agreed. More like lawlessness. This is open disrespect for federal law.
This is what happens when the executive branch uses "discretion" to effectively change the law by fiat. Respect for the law diminishes.
We'll just have to wait and see what Emperor Obama decrees on this matter.
We live here at his pleasure.
Why are people in these liberal enclaves so cavalier about the possible adverse health effects of marijuana? Large sugary soft-drinks, GMO foods, measles vaccines, tobacco -- Horrors! But an intoxicant that is often ingested through smoke in the lungs? Cool and legal!
Looks like a good business model. Before I'd buy into their future IPO, though, I'd want to see whether they can shed terms like "1 heavy eight of jack herer".
It seems as though pot is going really mainstream in the next very few years, and the winning ganjapreneuers will have to start dumbing down their marketing to attract the growing market of non-users-cum-users.
They should also push for a mostly fake, mostly governmentally seeming licensure, to help customers think "hey, it's pure pot; no weird stuff in that weed."
I was at Venice beach in September. You can buy a medical marijuana card on the beach for $20 to $30 dollars from a guy in surgical scrubs. They have a private booth adjacent to the dispensary....cuz...you know, HIPAA.
I did not investigate the potential justifications for the card, but I'm pretty sure the bar isn't set very high.
The only sensible solution is a relaxation of federal law. Wonder if the pro states rights, government-off-our-backs republicans will go along?
I don't understand why this is considered more "lawless" than regular delivery or dispensaries for MM in CA that are accessible via a phone app? (Just because it is higher profile?)
The Compassionate Use MM act in CA was passed almost twenty years ago now. Federal policy has gone back and forth before and during Obama, but it's only been a matter of tightening and loosening the financial grip on the always existent dispensaries. WA and CO seem to have moved things once again towards the more relaxed end of the scale.
So yes, legal on a state level with a state of flux at a federal level. Like with gay marriage, someone has to be at the vanguard of legal change - and that's the state and local level.
I like the "curated" hot dogs down at the ball park.
This continued use of "curated" is starting to piss me off. I am a curator, worked in museums for the last 30 years or so. I just took a delivery for our collection, a 17C flemish caned chair, not some pot from last week. Plus looked over some early 19th C. treadle lathes and wagon jacks. Cripes.
Yeah I heard some pretentious jackass on NPR recently yammering on about curating her iTunes "collection". You needn't be a curator for this to piss you off, but Todd's pissed-offedness does have a higher level of righteousness.
Some things are more fun when they are illicit.
I guess I'm a hopeless square, but I have no idea what a 'heavy eight' is.
One of the late night comedy shows did a person on the street skit where they asked a bunch of pot smokers questions. Usually two questions, one important than other one not so much.
The last question to some random pot smoker was, "Can you name three Renaissance painters?" and of course, he couldn't name one. Then they ask, "Can you name three Ninja Turtles?" And he says, "Michael Angelo, Donatello and Leonardo."
It was rather humorous while also sad.

An eigth is an eigth of an ounce. A "heavy eight" would be an eigth that weighs more than 3.5 grams.

In a world where police can strangle a man to death on camera and not get prosecuted for it, I just can't bring myself to worry about "respect" for laws banning victimless crimes.

Where and when did that happen?
Congress makes the laws. Let them enforce them.
"...just can't bring myself to worry about "respect" for laws banning victimless crimes."
Are you certain that the dope you smoke or condone came from a legal sustainable growhouse and not from cartels that butcher students and hang people off the overpass?
In a world where Revenant can't try, convict, and sentence anyone to prison based on a partial reading of the evidence selected by his biased POV, what is the use of living?
Is that justice, I ask you?
Ah, "bespoke" weed, to extract more money from the pretentious suckers.
I suspect prices are down. Ten or twenty years ago a z of hydro could have gone you $600 or more. Now half to one third of that for seedless stinky stunning marijuana. A heavy z. Merch used to go at that rate.
