Courtesy Hippos Cannabis Hippos Cannabis lost tens of thousands of dollars on 4/20 after its online ordering system failed. On what should've been its biggest day of the year, a chain of Missouri dispensaries lost a large chunk of sales after a third-party payment system crashed on 4/20.  Nick Rinella, CEO of Hippos Cannabis, says his business lost tens of thousands of dollars on Missouri's first 4/20 holiday with legal recreational marijuana after the Dutchie payment system crashed for a large part of the day.
