The Keurig Of Marijuana? CannaKorp Banks On Pods Filled With Pot

The Social Weed, Best source for all things Cannabis

When Michael Bourque, an engineer, was prescribed medical marijuana, he found the whole endeavor of taking it a bit daunting. How much should he buy and how strong was it? How should he prepare it?
Like many marijuana patients, Bourque wanted consistent dosage, standardized packaging, easy administration and no mess. As an engineer he decided he could invent his way out of the problem.
Bourque teamed up with Dave Manly a former vice president at Keurig Green Mountain  Inc., maker of the pod coffee machine and James Winokur, a technology executive and now the company’s CEO. The trio dreamed up a machine similar to the Keurig coffee maker, but for marijuana vaporization.  Users would insert a single-use pod of cannabis into the device, which would heat it and releases the vapor to be inhaled.
Soon two other retired Keurig executives joined the CannaKorp Inc. team. “They said they missed the entrepreneurial spirit they had at work,” said James. The machine they created, CannaCloud, will make its sales debut in Boulder Colorado at the end of 2016.
