Cannafornia

Roadmap.

Cannafornia is the California cannabis intelligence layer first, community second. We ship features only when there are enough users for them to be useful. Everything below is honest about what works today, what's already built but waiting on volume, and what we're focused on next.

Last updated 2026-05-24 · this page is the source of truth.

Now — shipped and live

Public (no signup)

  • DCC license directory + map20,514 active CA licenses. Daily refresh from the official DCC list. Filter by status, type, region. Pinch-zoom map.
  • Public licensee dossier/licensee/[license_number] — address, type, status, expiration, business name, key dates. Indexable.
  • Regulatory feed/data/regulatory — DCC, CDFA, CDPH, CDTFA updates aggregated into one feed.
  • Public share landing/share/[token] — when a verified licensee sends you a compliance package, COA, or drop alert, you can preview before signing up.

Verified members

  • DCC license verificationTwo paths: OTP to the email on file with the DCC, or upload your ID and license for LLM-assisted review.
  • Compliance vaultUpload license, seller's permit, ID, vehicle reg, insurance, COAs once. Share modularly — pick which docs go to which counterparty.
  • Send a shareSend a compliance package, COA passport, or drop alert to any of 20,500 CA licensees in one tap.
  • Inbox + sentReceive shares addressed to your license. Track who opened and accepted what you sent.
  • RolodexSaved counterparties by license #. Auto-built from every send.
  • DropsAnnounce a harvest to your buyer rolodex with RSVP tracking.
  • Renewal + tax calendarYour license expirations and every CDTFA / CDFA / CDPH deadline. Email reminders before each one.
  • Partner risk dashboardWatch DCC status, expirations, and enforcement flags for partners you've worked with.
  • Admin / teamOne admin per license can invite team members who get the verified badge through the admin.

Hidden — built, waiting on users

Each of these is fully implemented in the codebase and will flip back on for users when the listed threshold is met. Hiding empty surfaces keeps the product feeling complete instead of abandoned.

MarketplaceUnhide when: 30+ verified members ready to list
Activity feed / postsUnhide when: 50+ members + at least one active poster
Direct messagesUnhide when: 100+ members (we need a critical mass to message each other)
Jobs boardUnhide when: 5+ employers ready to post
Events calendarUnhide when: We curate the first 10 industry events
CoalitionsUnhide when: At least one campaign worth signing on to
Wholesale price indexUnhide when: Marketplace has 200+ active listings
Saved searches + alertsUnhide when: Marketplace flips on

Next — focused on

In rough priority order. The goal is getting to the first 100 verified members, not building more features.

  1. 1. Make licensee pages indexableDrop the noindex header. 20,500 unique licensee pages become organic SEO landing pages overnight.
  2. 2. Claim-your-license CTA on every dossierWhen an operator googles themselves and lands on Cannafornia, give them a one-tap path to claim and verify.
  3. 3. Founding-member onboarding pushHand-onboard the first 25 California operators using Cannafornia's own share infrastructure. Eat our own dogfood.
  4. 4. Funnel instrumentationTrack every step from landing → signup → verification → first share. Fix the worst step every week.
  5. 5. Stripe / Square cannabis merchant approvalGet the merchant application in so paid tiers can charge when ready. Approval is the long pole.

Later — parked

  • ·Mobile native app — at 500+ monthly active users.
  • ·Other states (OR, NM, NV) — at 1,000+ CA verified users.
  • ·Wholesale price index public dashboard — when marketplace has 200+ listings.
  • ·ERP integrations (Metrc, Confident Cannabis) — when an Industry+ customer pulls us in.
  • ·Push + SMS notifications — when DMs flip on.

Won't do

  • ·Consumer-facing dispensary discovery — that's Weedmaps / Leafly's job. We're operator-to-operator.
  • ·Anonymous accounts — verified DCC license is the membership floor.
  • ·Untracked content — every post / message / listing is attributable to a verified license.
  • ·Cannabis sales / payment processing on platform — we're the rolodex + compliance + intelligence layer.
