Video Marijuana Growers Need Software, Too (Video) 94
Video no longer available.
Meet Kyle Sherman, founder and CEO of Flowhub, a company that makes software for marijuana growers. The company's website says Kyle "worked at a grow and experienced the problems with cannabis inventory management first hand. Frustrated by the software his grow was using, he searched for something better. When his search failed him, he became fueled by a passion to create a system that would accelerate workflows, increase accuracy, and simplify compliance."
Every state that legalizes marijuana will give Flowhub a new set of potential customers (and a new set of regulations their software must take into account). And Kyle talks about making easy-to-use enterprise software for other industries, based on his experience making super-simple software for marijuana people. It's possible that Flowhub will also make new versions of the NUG, the handheld "all-in-one device" Flowhub provides along with its subscription-based software. Are we talking about unbridled optimism here? Absolutely! This is America, where possibilities are endless, even in the not-100%-legal (yet) marijuana industry.

Like hippy shirts and corduroy pants being a stereotype linked to the 60's/70's, verbing our nouns (see what I did there?!) is similarly linked to the '00's.

Unfortunately "verbing our nouns" is unlike the fashion examples you mentioned in the single most important respect: It doesn't have the good taste to only exist in the same decade as when it was considered "cool". I like to call that the rap phenomenon.

Yes. Exactly. Rap is just like every other commercially motivated music form through the last 100 years at least.
look at all the biggest trends/musical fads of the last century as an example. Before 1900 classical was the mainstream thing to listen to, then by maybe 1910 it was Swing Band, then in the 1930's Jazz, up to 1950's Rock n Roll, then 60's beatle-type pop, then 70's Disco and Rock, then late 70's Punk, then early 80's New W

Yeah I've heard different people make exactly the same claim about what ever their favourite genre of music happens to be, including blues, country and western, pop, prog rock, and heavy metal, being the one true musical genre or whatever.
I think the problem exists because people think of rap as music in the first place, when It obviously isn't. its street poetry set to music that is often sampled/mixed/ripped off from somewhere else, so not even trying to be original, which is normally one of the most imp

You're the one showing your ignorance. There is no definitive right or wrong with respect to art/music, only opinions. Yours is that rap is an amazingly creative music form. Mine is that rap is blatantly talentless commercial shit. These are all just opinions so there is nothing to be completely wrong about.

And the federal government does not have the constitutional authority to regulate what plants humans consume or grow.
The entire Federal drug control system is a constitutional farce.
When they banned alcohol at the federal level there was no question that a constitutional amendment was needed. Regulating alcohol obviously needed an amendment because there was nothing in the constitution giving the federal government any autho

Like the stock market, stocks never change in price. Or gas prices at the pump, they stay stable for long periods of time, right?
You seem to be very confused how markets work. Some markets are real time priced markets and the price and inventory is expected to fluctuate moment to moment. Other markets are stabilized by huge amount of production and rarely fluctuate, such as the price of a candy bar at the local store. Weed is not a 'white' market, the feds still randomly bust

You obviously don't live in a state where marijuana has any form of legality, because the prices can be $5/g one day and $20/g the next.
