Marijuana Growers Need Software, Too (Video)

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.

Clearly one of the worse side-effects of drug abuse is no longer being able to differentiate between verbs and nouns.

Are you saying rap music is just a fad that has outlived its time? Man, you really must be old - grumpy because of new lingo, grumpy because of new music. Must suck to be you mate.

Who needs software?

Re:Is he saying keeping tracks of inventory

Yes, weed is fundamentally different from other inventories. The market value varies widely based on myriad factors, some within control of the "manufacturer" and some completely outside their control, and they vary from yield to yield at different frequencies and periods. A given strains market value fluctuates, and so too does a given crop based, again, on myriad factors. Indeed, there is no product that has the same characteristics and is subject to the same market dynamics as marijuana. You would do well to remain silent on subject matters with which you clearly have no familiarity, rather than criticizing people whom you falsely assume are not smarter than you. I can assure you there are many, many pot smokers who are much smarter than you are. Again, you would do well not to underestimate a person based upon your prejudices based upon propaganda and falsehoods.

>but a stable legal market.

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 suppliers, and at the federal level it is still illegal. Also customers have personal tastes, if everyone wants the strain *dank memes*, demand dictates that the price goes up, especially if supply is limited. Until you see a futures contracts for supply of marijuana there will be volatility in the market.

"What market fluctuations, were not talking about the black market where is changes all the time but a stable legal market."

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.

You didn't hit a nerve, you proved how stupid and thoughtless you truly are.
