Photi — Michigan's Cannabis Guide

From the Greek Photizo · To illuminate · To guide through darkness

Cannabis affects 99% of
what happens after.
Most people are using
the wrong thing.

Not wrong as in bad. Wrong as in not matched to who you are, what you need, and what you're trying to do tonight.

The real problem

Michigan has 490 dispensaries.
Thousands of products.
Nobody asking the right question.

The deals are dizzying. Every dispensary has daily specials, rotating menus, discount tiers. You can walk into almost any Michigan dispensary and find something cheap. The market is flooded.

But cheap and good are not the same thing. And good for someone else is not the same as right for you.

The wrong terpene profile before a creative session can shut your brain down instead of opening it. The wrong strain before exercise creates anxiety instead of flow. The wrong product before sleep has you wired at 2am wondering what happened.

Most people cycle through this confusion — buying what's on sale, trying things that almost work, never quite landing on the routine that fits.

Your encounter with cannabis is your own. Your mind, your body, your moment. Photi is the conversation that helps you figure out what actually works for you.

"The wrong terpene, wrong process, wrong strain — it affects everything. How you respond. How you think. How you live."

The Photi Philosophy

"The right ones can give you temporary superpowers — to create, to exercise, to process complex emotions, to be more fully present."

Cannabis 3.0

"Figuring out what works for you takes time. Fixing a bad routine is worth it. Photi wants to help you figure it out."

Why Photi Exists

The science behind it

Terpenes are why one product gives you
superpowers and another ruins your evening.

"THC percentage is like judging a coffee by caffeine content. It tells you something — but not whether it's going to be good for you specifically." — Photi

How Photi works

Not a menu. Not a search engine.
A conversation that changes
what happens after it.

01

Photi asks about your headspace first

Before anything else. Not what you want to buy — where your head is at. Winding down or gearing up? Trying to create or trying to sleep? That answer shapes everything after.

"Before we dive in — how's your headspace? Restful, energetic, creative, a little fun? No wrong answers."
02

Photi gets to know you over time

A short quiz builds your profile — how you think, what you seek, what format you prefer. Photi remembers. Every conversation starts from what it already knows. You never start from scratch.

An overthinker looking to create gets different guidance than a grounded person looking to decompress. Photi adjusts to who you actually are.
03

Real inventory. Real prices. Right now.

Photi pulls live menu data from 80 Michigan dispensaries every morning. When Photi recommends a product, Photi tells you the brand, the dispensary, the price, and why it fits you. Not last week. Today.

"Information Entropy Mandarin Z Live Rosin — $52 at Broadway in Ann Arbor. Sweet citrus, energizing without scatter. The one Metro Times called their best strain."
04

Photi makes one small ask — The Promise

Before every recommendation, Photi asks for something small. Not about cannabis. About tonight. It's the moment that makes this a conversation, not a transaction.

"Promise me at some point on that trail you stop moving and just listen for a minute. Not your music. Just what's actually out there."
05

Photi gets better every visit

After a few visits, Photi asks how the last recommendations worked. That feedback recalibrates everything. The longer you use Photi, the better it understands how cannabis works in your specific body and mind.

Three visits in, Photi knows whether terpinolene energizes you or scatters you. Six visits in, it's mapping your endocannabinoid system in ways no quiz could capture.

Five Voices. One Companion.

The part that makes this different

Photi gets smarter
every time you come back.

Visit 1 — The quiz

Ten questions build your baseline. How you think, what you seek, what format you prefer. Photi uses this to skip what it already knows.

Visit 2 — First check-in

Photi asks how the last recommendations worked. Honest answers only — this is where real calibration begins.

Visit 3 — Patterns emerge

Photi sees what works for you specifically. Not the average person — your body, your mind, your routine.

Visit 4 — Recalibration

After your third check-in, Photi recalibrates everything it knows — and sends you an email telling you what it learned and what to look for next.

Visit 6+ — Your map

Photi builds a genuine picture of how cannabis works in your specific body and mind. Nobody else is building this.
