Companies need to evolve, even if you work in the cannabis industry.
- When my state first legalized medical marijuana in 2016, things were a lot different then compared to now.
For one, you could only buy products derived from cannabis distillate oil. This was frustrating back then because I’m not a particularly big fan of cannabis distillate oil in the first place. It’s made with really low quality cannabis products and it can be really frustrating if you don’t get the right effects. And every single product at the time was made from these cannabis distillate oils. Eventually the cannabis dispensaries fought the state and finally got approval to sell cannabis flower products. And with time, all of the other common cannabis products became available at cannabis dispensaries statewide. Now you can buy cannabis concentrates in multiple different varieties. Another thing that had to evolve with the evolving cannabis industry in the state is all the software that the cannabis dispensaries utilize. And the very beginning the software was simply live menus that were posted to websites. You were lucky back then to actually see a live menu because often the quantity levels would not adjust as people made orders. Sometimes you could even get the item you wanted because the software wouldn’t tell you the stocking on the inventory. Eventually the software for the cannabis dispensaries evolved and live menus became commonplace. Now the software allows you to make orders and add discounts before you get an order confirmation. Then you get a text message from the software when the orders are filled at the cannabis dispensary.
