Episode 44: düber

Vancouver Tech Podcast

Drew and James open the show with a quick chat about community as well as the results of the Vancouver Programming Survey. The guest this week is an anonymous guest from düber!

düber is a system for marijuana vendors to track and maintain their inventory as well as make sure they are staying within the regulations for the substance. If you are wondering why his name is not here, then you should listen to this episode! We talk about what düber is, how new industries affect technology, and the current legality, and future legality, of marijuana.
