A new state regulation decriminalizing pot possession, combined with California’s almost 15-year-old medical-marijuana law, means weed is almost legal in the state.

That doesn’t necessarily make it easier to run a pot-related business, as Mario Abad has learned over the past six months.

Mr. Abad, 48 years old, is the proprietor of the Canny Bus, a nonprofit pot delivery service based in San Francisco that delivers marijuana to the homes of patients whose doctors recommend it for medical reasons. Since last spring, Mr. Abad has tried to make his pot business more like a traditional company—but has repeatedly run into legal obstacles.

“You do everything you’re supposed to do under state law, and then the feds pop up,” says Mr. Abad, a former tech industry worker who says he is barely making a living with his small delivery operation. Volkswagen, he adds, “wanted me to destroy pretty much everything” in his marketing materials that looked like a Volkswagen van.

A lawyer for the Volkswagen AG unit declined to comment. A spokeswoman added that while it is common for the company to spot other businesses that it believes are infringing on its trademarks, most of them don’t sell marijuana. A spokeswoman for the patent office referred to documents in the case denying the trademark application.

Mr. Abad’s problems began last year when he started delivering pot to about eight patients around the Bay Area, selling different varieties of weed like Purple Kush and 3X Crazy for $45 or $50 for one-eighth of an ounce.

Before he began operating last spring, Mr. Abad tried to make the Canny Bus more like a legitimate enterprise and less like an illicit-drug operation to cut down his own legal risk and make clients feel comfortable.

So last year, Mr. Abad launched a website with professionally photographed models exhorting people to “break free with the benefits of medical marijuana!” and touting the advantages of using his delivery service. The site explains the differences between various marijuana strains and lists the company’s bylaws.

Mr. Abad also bought a carcass of an old Volkswagen microbus—the stereotypical stoner vehicle—to use in marketing promotions, and hired an artist to craft a logo depicting a vehicle similar to the bus with a cannabis leaf prominently displayed on the front. He filed paperwork last February with the patent office to trademark the image.

Mr. Abad was initially hopeful: Two months after filing his trademark application, the patent office created a new category for “processed plant matter for medicinal purposes, namely medical marijuana.”

Three Times Crazy may sound like a crazy name, a bit out there even, but trust The Bus when we tell you the name does it justice. Yesterday we met with one of our private growers and had a chance to sample this delicacy of cannabis cultivation and it’s nothing short of spectacular. 3XCrazy is a hybrid of three already fantastic strains: Grand Daddy Purple, OG, and Bubba Kush. This is the pinnacle of genetic cannabis engineering, and the combination of these three strains has produced a smoking experience that is both profoundly enjoyable and extremely smooth.

The crystal concentration of this strain is extremely dense and the buds exhibit an undertone of beautiful deep purples complimenting the natural green tones of the leaf and the exotic red hairs adorning them. When smoked, the intake is smooth and tastes slightly sweet, rewarding your senses. Upon exhale you’re able to taste that mix of OG/Bubba Kush that will remind you of an old friend. This rare and wonderful hybrid strain was developed in the Bay Area and the attention to detail and experience in cultivation is clear the moment you lift the first bud to your nose and take a whiff of what is surely the Bay Area’s finest Medical Marijuana. For the limited time that we will have this premiere medical cannabis available, The Canny Bus has just become the most exclusive and professional medical cannabis delivery service in all of California.

The initial sensation upon smoking 3XCrazy was euphoric and mellowing; the flavor blew my mind, as I’m sure it will have the same effect on our fortunate members. I was partly excited because of the beauty of the strain, marveling at it’s complicated and delicate textures and colors. And Indica by nature, about an hour after smoking 3XCrazy I felt so relaxed I could have slept on a cold concrete floor. When I finally laid my head down for the night I was asleep quicker than you can say “I wonder if it’s working.” At The Canny Bus we carry a constant supply of premium quality medical cannabis for our members, but this really is the cream of the crop. The only bad thing about 3XCrazy is that we only have a limited supply, so don’t waste time placing your order and if ever you heeded my advice, heed now!

One of the most rewarding aspects of running a medical marijuana delivery service in the San Francisco bay area is the occasional opportunity to offer collective members such a rare and wonderful medicine. There are many Bay Area Delivery Services, but ours is unique due to the support of our membership and the enthusiasm for premium quality cannabis. 3XCrazy is the embodiment of that enthusiasm. Many collectives simply stock their shelves with the same 10 strains you can buy at any dispensary across the state, but thanks to the shared support of The Canny Bus’ members, we are able to take the time and put in the effort to seek out only the very best and rarest medical cannabis for our distinguished membership. This is all because of you, and for you at the same time.

We will continue to strive to bring you the best medical cannabis of any Bay Area Delivery Service, and you continue to share our belief that medical cannabis is the finest alternative medicine on this green earth. In the coming weeks we will have additional special offerings similar in nature to 3XCrazy, as well as a steady offering of our high quality alternatives. Thanks again to all our members for making this collective such a joyful and rewarding experience and stay tuned as always!

Yours in service,
Mario Abad
