Anna is convenient 

Matthew Frost, the founder and CEO of Anna had a lot to say in his interview with denverpost. He said “There are experienced Cannabis customers who don’t necessarily need that one-on-one interaction with a budtender. They know what they want before the walk in, they’re ready to go in and out. By doing this we’re giving more time back to the

people who do need hand holding and want that education from a live person.”

The secure medical and recreational cannabis vending machine arrived at a time when Covid-19 health guidelines curbed consumers’ from in-person shopping. 

Anna’s unique features helps dispensary staff validate each transaction remotely to ensure patients are not dispensing more than the restricted legal limit a month by using their marijuana card and government issued photo ID.

Anna’s vision is simply to provide consumers and retailers with an experience that enables fast and compliant transactions.

Anna’s Future

It’s no fuss that the Legal marijuana industry is a fast growing one with an estimated market size of $73.6 Billion by 2027. Hence, “Anna” the weed vending machine is here to stay.
