The cannabis industry and companies operating to support it must comply with certain state regulations and policies. As an MSO or cannabis entrepreneur, you must comply with specific standards such as tracking cannabis sales and purchases while keeping within possession limits. You must also follow selling regulations like confirming a buyer’s identity and medical card.

1. Cannabis Software
Open Source Software (OSS) has gained considerable significance in the software
assiduity with expansive development and is now being extensively accepted as a
new model of business. The open source model is a far more respectable moment
due to the dropped degree of blights and crimes as compared to personal software.
Open source software, as the name suggests, allows availability to source law of a
software program in order to make variations to the software. Issues girding
availability involves drafting licensing of the software in a manner which allows
access to the source law. Whereas, in personal software the source law isn’t
participated, viewed and modified. All variations are done by the software inventor
as per the licensing agreement. Druggies of the personal software are needed to
buy any upgrades of the being software from the author of the software, as druggies
are banned from copying, distributing, and modifying the software.
Although diversions have altered the arrangement between a seller and client of
personal software, druggies are allowed to view and modify the source law without
distributing it to others. An illustration would be Microsoft’s Shared Source

2. Initiative (SSI) which allows the stoner to acclimatize its personal software as per
their demand by allowing them to make variations in the source law.
A major point of difference between open source and personal software is the
element of usability. OSS not reviewed by professional testers doesn’t feed to a
lesser followership. Druggies generally bandy issues associated with an OSS in
forums, online communities having fine attestation, news groups, and indeed live
exchanges to review and modify the law base as against the personal software.
Druggies of open source software act both as the inventor anduser.The software is
targeted on the druggies and personal software, whose druggies and inventors, are
different so stoner conditions and anticipation from the software might not be
gauged rightly. Open source software allows for lesser customization.
OSS performances are released regularly and come free of cost. Personal software
performances are released from time to time and need to be bought. Largely priced
mandatory contagion protection, over-gradation charges, support expenditure,
and seller-locking involves high technology cost to a business concluding for
personal model.
Open source software is better in sticking to open norms in relation to other
businesses, computers, druggies, and isn’t confined to the personal data formats.
OSS enables high situations of invention by a large number of professed people
who can make variations in source law for better performance as per stoner
demands and conditions. Personal software involves huge costs on exploration and
development by a defined number of inventors writing the law. The platoon size
might change with fresh aspirants who may or may not have the capability to fully
understand and write the particular law with the same position of effectiveness.
Due to the organizational nature, personal software is developed by a platoon of
inventors with a common thing in a defined terrain. The source law is accessible
only to the platoon members who can modify the source law as per the conditions.
This lowers the chances of error and bug penetration in the source law vastly. The
position of security for the software against contagions is relatively high in a
personal model. With the OSS model, software is developed in a controlled
situation, in anon-continuous structure, without a single ideal and without
communication between software inventors. Lack of confirmation increases the
possibility of contagion.

3. Still, there’s a wise side. In open source software, a lot of people can pierce and
view the law source, thereby making the possibility of bug discovery relatively
certain. Quoting Linus Torvalds, author of LINUX,” Given enough eyeballs, all
bugs are shallow”. OSS allows a lot further people to view and test the law thereby
making excrescence discovery and fixing relatively feasible. Bugs detected in open
source are fixed hastily. Inventors of personal software on the other hand, might
take weeks or indeed months to track an excrescence and patch it up.
Further companies are espousing the OSSmodel which has led to drastic reduction
in technology costs, making OSS a doable option for numerous small and medium
sized enterprises, who can have Live CD’s and USB’s for LINUX software
distribution.
Numerous large companies such as IBM and HP are considering open source
software and the trends are going to spread at a faster rate for other companies
too.
There has been a shift from the personal software model to open source software
model, giving some serious competition to personal software makers. As for the
open source software, just having an enhanced view would not prove to be
sufficient, indeed open source requires better tools for gauging blights effectively
by drugs.
