Regulated Commerce
Ganjabazaar
A compliant cannabis marketplace where every licence is verified and every menu is real.
“Shop by mood. Discover by trust. Verified by AI.”
The problem
Cannabis discovery is dominated by pay-to-play listings with stale menus and unverifiable claims, in a category where getting compliance wrong ends the business.
In short
A licence-verified, METRC-integrated hub where shoppers and licensed businesses discover, match and transact. Pickup only, by design. Juniper, the marketplace's AI advisor, guides discovery — but the menu pipeline that keeps dispensary inventory honest is the actual product.
- Licensed dispensaries
- 5,753
- States

- Fulfilment
- Pickup only
Counts as published on ganjabazaar.com. Listings are expanded by data quality rather than raw volume; any figure without a verifiable source is not published.
What is built
- Licence-verified directory across 13 states, with organisation identity derived server-side
- Juniper — the brand's own AI advisor, deliberately distinct from every other assistant in the portfolio
- Outbound voice with do-not-call and calling-hours guards enforced in the platform, not the script
- House ad engine built on a bot-filtered event log rather than counters
- A crawl guard that checks verified crawlers first, then geography, then quota — and fails open
How it earns
- Sponsored and house advertising placements
- Video placements in sponsored slots
- Menu and POS integration for licensed retailers
- Juniper AI voice for inbound and outbound
Where it goes
- Make the menu pipeline the reason a retailer stays
- Prove the Oregon beachhead before widening states
- Payments remain blocked on banking rails, and are not promised until they are real
