Consume responsible amounts of marijuana with a Keurig for weed
Just when you thought you had run out of ways to consume marijuana, in comes something newer and weirder.
CannaKorp has unveiled a new vaporizer, the CannaCloud, scheduled to hit the market early next year. While the vaporizer isn't an official Keurig, the design is similar. CannaKorp will offer legally grown marijuana, available in adorable single-use pods.

CannaKorp's vaporizer will be sleek and white, and vaporizes the marijuana by heating it without setting it on fire. The company argues that their product combines simple design with powerful efficacy.
"CannaKorp designed a patent-pending vaporizer that allows users to comfortably enjoy a convenient and efficient vapor," the website says. "The CannaCloud has a hygienic, one-way valve that is also detachable for easy cleaning."
The company's marijuana will come in multiple strains, including sativa, indica, hybrid and CBD-only strains. Like an actual Keurig, users can switch pods in and out to get the flavor of their choice. Hopefully, the residue of one strain won't destroy the flavor of another -- tragically similar to what happens when you switch out a coffee pod for a tea pod in a Keurig.
While Keurig doesn't own CannaKorp, CannaKorp's chairman, David Manley, is a former Keurig vice president.
Clearly, Manley was inspired by Keurig, the moderately-functional, dorky coffee machine, and hoped to build a similar middling product in the marijuana industry.
So far, so good.
