Open Source in the Cannabis Industry

I work at a dev agency specializing in Ruby on Rails. I've heard from several cannabis companies in the last year or so who have been seeking help on dev projects, specifically Rails/Spree/Solidus. I've been told Shopify and similar out of the box solutions are iffy on cannabis products since it's not legal federally.

So I'm curious for insight on open source's role in the growth of the cannabis industry. Do you work for/with a company in this space? Do you have any thoughts on the industry and its relationship with open source?

Also, a disclaimer: I live in Portland, Oregon, so my area's a bit more in-touch with the cannabis community than other places where it isn't legal yet.

Appreciate any helpful discussion!

Hey Erica

We've seen a lot of traction in the CBD industry using Spree.

Besides the legal difficulties of using SasS platforms like Shopify or some payment providers, retailers selling CBD move to custom flexible platforms like Spree to build their unique selling models (one-time purchase/subscriptions/multi-vendor marketplaces). All of this attracts a lot of brands to the Spree project.

As for me, there are so many different options for buying different cbd products. But the best thing to do before buying is to look at reviews and reviews on the site cbdcraftmasters.com/ which has long established itself as one of the best. After that, there will already be an understanding of the quality, how good it is, and it will be possible to order.
