Anyone know why #Dutchie is allowed to use #Stripe but other ancillary cannabis businesses are not permitted?

Late last week, we hit a major milestone with our software factory stream. @matthewwalther.bsky.social ran a complete, end-to-end production cycle. Live. Yes, there's still some tech debt to sweep up. But we've unlocked a fundamental shift in how we build. www.youtube.com/live/Jz4USrO...

Cool that #WSLCB introduced new error messages to their system w/o warning.

Friends it's 2026 and banking is still an "unsolved" problem for the #Cannabis industry. I'm confounded why the CU options didn't take off. $200M Market (and still growing (pun intended))

Just a reminder for those working with #cannabis, especially trimming and any keif powder -- you need PPE! Your employer should provide this PPE! Masks and gloves!

It's very important to keep track of the raw and net weights of the harvest! Build an SOP for your methods and follow it every time!

One nice thing about the #Metrc monopoly for cannabis systems is that we get to remove the legacy code for that disaster that was #LeafData for Washington and old #BioTrack which is on it's way out.

Decembrer 7th is the inventory import deadline for #Metrc in NY. Still cannot complete B2B Transactions via API (since 2015)

Many proprietary vendors trap your information in a "walled garden," making it difficult or impossible to export and analyze. A forward-thinking business policy is choosing an open platform that guarantees data portability. You're sitting on a goldmine of business intelligence. Unlock it!

000

OpenTHC @openthc.bsky.social · 28/10/2025

Data portability is the obstacle between regulatory compliance being an expensive chore, to turning it into a strategic asset. But here's the unavoidable truth: you can't do any of it if you don't truly own your data.

They can now confidently adjust their grow schedule to meet real-world demand and avoid overproducing a slow-moving item. This is a building block of basic business intelligence. The question is: does your software give you the access and tools to even ask that question of your own data?

000

OpenTHC @openthc.bsky.social · 27/10/2025

Last week, we discussed data trapped in "walled gardens." Consider the following scenario: A producer uses their sales velocity data to identify that "Strain A" sells out in 5 days, while "Strain B" sits for 30.

Your compliance data is a goldmine of business intelligence. Are you using it? Or is it trapped in your vendor's "walled garden"? This week, OpenTHC discusses practical ways to use your own sales, inventory, and compliance data to make smarter business decisions. Image: James St. John

This ensures true data sovereignty and prevents vendor lock-in because: 1) Our subscription agreement honors client-ownership of all data 2) Business data can migrate to other platforms, including between subscription, 3rd party, and self-hosted solutions Choosing OpenTHC, you're never locked in.

OpenTHC @openthc.bsky.social · 15/10/2025

The software is governed by open licenses, giving our clients the fundamental freedoms they can't get at businesses funded by Venture Capital. This means they can: * self-host the application (and pay us nothing) * customize anything in the apps * audit the entire code

OpenTHC @openthc.bsky.social · 15/10/2025

Our subscription software includes App and our POS terminal. These are the applications that report to state-managed compliance reporting. However: App and POS are built on the principle of "free as in speech". Or, "libre as in liberation".

OpenTHC @openthc.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

Understand these distinctions. As business owners, you have to make strategic technology choices that align with long-term business goals. Making the wrong decision because your in a rush is a recipe for making avoidable expenses later.

000

OpenTHC @openthc.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

Open source software grants you the freedom to view, modify, and control the code, even if you partner with a vendor for support or hosting. This gives you different risks, but ultimately gives everything you need to protect all of your interests.

100

OpenTHC @openthc.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

Even when software is closed-source and not free, it might carry the same risks. It winds up being the responsibility of the business to weigh these risks, and ride out the consequences. How often you have to evaluate your software partners governs how expensive this relationship can be.

100

OpenTHC @openthc.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

When evaluating business software, the word "free" can be misleading. You have to know the difference between "gratis" and "libre" software. Gratis software doesn't cost money, but may come with limitations The tool is free, but might be monetized in a way that is invisible to the user.

"We reached out to OpenTHC because we wanted to own more of our infrastructure and control costs" -- yea, that's what we do! Glad you could find us!

Good technology shouldn't force your customers into a third-party ecosystem; it should empower and strengthen your own. This is the ultimate goal of the open source. Tools that make users more independent, not more reliant on us.

000

OpenTHC @openthc.bsky.social · 10/10/2025

Good tech should stay out of the way. With our new B2B Shop Embed feature, this meant making our own platform an invisible engine so our client's brand could be the hero. Platforms should serve you, not the other way around. #FightForTheUser #OpenSource

OpenTHC @openthc.bsky.social · 09/10/2025

Good news everyone! We've finally been able to drop the legacy #metrc v1 (2015) API code and only have to deal with v2 (2023). Nice to clean-out the old junk.

Now, not only is our business relationship stronger than ever, our people are making more money than ever. That's the OpenTHC Flywheel. Their support of open source fuels development that directly benefits them.

1. A long-time client wanted to stop sending their customers to a third-party site for B2B orders. 2. We listened and prioritized it. 3. We built it. THATS IT.

100

OpenTHC @openthc.bsky.social · 08/10/2025

Today, we want to share the story of now we created one of our newest features. The story of our new B2B Shop Embed perfectly encapsulates the business "flywheel" we have created here at OpenTHC.

OpenTHC @openthc.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

Each time a customer clicks away, it interrupts their experience with your brand. It subtly communicates that your own website isn't the central hub for your business. For producers and processors, owning that relationship is everything.

000

OpenTHC @openthc.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

Let's talk about brand consistency in the B2B sales cycle. Why do we spend so much effort building a brand, only to send our most valuable wholesale clients to a third-party domain to place an order?

OpenTHC @openthc.bsky.social · 06/10/2025

This philosophy of stewardship and collaboration is the foundation of our work at OpenTHC. To all the open-source maintainers out there, including the ones in our own community: We see you, and we thank you. 🫡 #ThankYouDevs #OpenSource #Cannabis #Community #FOSS
