Ask HN: Coffee Cannabis Chocolate

2 points by Mistone 8 years ago | 4 comments

I'm starting a subscription service - Loot Crate / Birchbox for speciality coffee, chocolate and cannabis products.

Each month we feature an assortment of products from these categories. It's a tasting menu from great producers.

We have received great interest from the producers but beyond myself (haha) I'm hoping to get some feedback if there is general interest is such a thing existing.

Cost will be ~$65 for aprox: 12oz coffee, two chocolate bars and equivalent of 1/8 of cannabis.

Would love to get any feedback or questions - learn more at www.vibeltd.co

I'm assuming you will limit this to sale into states where recreational cannabis is legal. Do you feel there is a big enough market for this in the limited number of states that have made it legal? Would you offer a cannabis free version? My gut tells me the cannabis will attract the most interest...

Pricing seems quite good, uh, I've heard, um, read that 1/8 of cannabis in my neighborhood runs between $50 - $60.

thanks for your feedback! Yes limited to legal states, starting in CA. I def think the market is big enough, many very successful dispensaries (online and stores) - and this addresses the casual / foodie centric market which is the fastest growing segment. Boxes can be customized 2 of 3 products required.
