Problems facing the

Cannabis Industry

1. Highly Regulated and Low Compliance Standards

Trading in cannabis at a medical standard must be in compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Good Agricultural Processes (GAP). The lack of smart contracts in the industry causes inefficiencies, increasing risks of errors, delays, and compliance issues.

2. Lack of Transparency and Trust

Without automated systems and smart contracts, businesses face higher risks of human error, delays, and compliance violations, as well as suffering from a lack of tracking and transparency making it harder to ensure trust and streamline operations, from seed to sale.

3. Authenticity and Counterfeiting

The cannabis industry is vulnerable to counterfeit products, which can harm consumers and damage brand reputations. There is a substantial gap in the market for a blockchain-enabled solution covering both hardware and software.

4. Digitisation, Data Security and Analytics

Systems remain largely paper-based leaving manufacturers vulnerable to inefficiencies, regulatory risks, data breaches and potentially increased costs. Companies struggle to optimise operations, ensure compliance, and protect sensitive information, ultimately hindering growth in this rapidly expanding sector.

5. Interoperability Across Jurisdictions

Cannabis businesses often operate in multiple jurisdictions with different regulations, making it difficult to maintain consistent compliance and operations.

6. Operational and Financial

The cannabis industry faces operational and financial challenges, including fragmented supply chains, introduction of foreign materials, brand protection, complex regulations, and under-specified product, all of which hinder growth and efficiency.

7. Lack of Data & Insights

The lack of real-time insights and advanced analytics leads to inefficiencies in operations, missed growth opportunities, and difficulties in predicting market trends. Businesses struggle to optimise supply chains, understand customer behaviour, and make informed strategic decisions.

8. Labelling and Information Access

Limited labelling and restricted access to genetic information, leads to inconsistent product quality, reduced consumer trust, and challenges in verifying strain origins and medicinal properties.

9. Proof of Providence

The cannabis industries lack of proof of providence makes it hard to verify product origin, authenticity, and quality, leading to concerns over counterfeit goods and market inconsistencies.
