Entrepreneur and computer engineer John Lee, in Sonoma, Calif., thinks the medical marijuana business has reached a tipping point in terms of its social (and legal) acceptance, and his 5-month-old start-up, PlainView Systems, wants to be the Amazon.com of the burgeoning industry.
Potheads, let's face it, have never been known for being the most organized people, and many of them have the business instincts of a T-shirt seller at a Phish concert. For some dispensary owners, the ever-shifting rules, regulations and decrees set forth by the various municipalities in the state are confusing. So too are the changing accounting standards that are required of the industry.
Accounting? "I got the primo, dude. Gimme the bread." has always been all the 'accounting' needed!
Laws. Sigh. I guess we've got to put up with 'laws' to get 'legalization'. Sigh.
This is a good idea whose time has come.
Note to PlainView Systems: Cash in on this quick before the real Amazon catches on. Free shipping over $25 is hard to beat.
