Budbo V3 Is Here: The Official Launch of the Next-Generation Cannabis Platform
Budbo V3 officially launches today, bringing AI-powered cannabis commerce, BudBot virtual budtender, and the most advanced dispensary technology to the world.
Welcome to the Future
Today is the day. After years of development, months of beta testing, and thousands of hours of community feedback, Budbo V3 is officially live.
"This is the day we've been building toward for ten years," says Luke Patterson, Founder & CEO. "V3 isn't an iteration — it's a declaration. This is what cannabis technology should look like when you refuse to compromise."
This is more than a platform update — it's a paradigm shift in how cannabis technology serves consumers, dispensaries, and the broader industry.

- 50,000+ beta testers who shaped the product
- 1M+ product listings in the marketplace

- Available in 5 languages at launch
"Fifty thousand beta testers helped shape this product," says Luke Patterson. "Their feedback changed our roadmap, reprioritized features, and made V3 dramatically better than what we originally designed. This is their platform as much as ours."
What Makes V3 Different
V3 isn't just another cannabis app. It's the first AI-native cannabis platform — meaning AI isn't bolted on, it's built into every feature from the ground up.
Every recommendation, every compliance check, every inventory decision is enhanced by artificial intelligence.
"We rewrote over 200,000 lines of code for V3," says Jacob Patterson, Co-Founder & CTO. "The AI isn't a feature we added — it's woven into the fabric of every function. Search, compliance, inventory, recommendations — they all run through our AI layer. There's nothing else like this in cannabis."
