Beyond Sativa and Indica: Cannabis Patients, Practitioners and Enthusiasts
Cannabis Reports brings a grower's eye to its strain discovery tool. On Cannabis Reports, terroir and landrace (original strain), play a much bigger descriptive role than current dispensary marketing terminology: sativa, indica and hybrid. The technology takes a botanical approach to classifying cannabis, focusing on qualities stemming from regional, bio-responsive chemicals produced in a plant, correlational to cultivation. Before the categories of sativa, indica and hybrid were cemented in the 1970s, region was how cannabis was sold. Drake believes it is a more accurate indicator of the plant's characteristics.
Cannabis Reports' strain discovery tool maps cannabis according to regional origins. As patients review products, their profile page adjusts a matrix of suggestions based on location. Patients and cannabis consumers get past sativa and indica and learn about their tastes according to region.
A Comprehensive Resource: Medical Professionals
Cannabis Reports has gathered a comprehensive collection of medical studies on cannabis. In collaboration with expert Uwe Blesching, PhD, hundreds of academic studies from 1971 to 2016 are indexed with a browse-able resource explaining efficacy of study results.
Product and Marketing Control: Cannabis Producers
With a suite of traceability tools, Cannabis Reports offers producers full control over product from seed to store. Cannabis product wholesalers send dispensaries accurate updates to product details, prices and availability right from their computer. Producers link lab tests and provide their own product photos.
Demystifying the Market: Dispensaries and Delivery Services
Cannabis Reports has the data that dispensaries need in order to grow. Businesses can use the open cannabis API to manage inventory and power their online menus. Cannabis Reports also has a comprehensive suite of localized market-data tools that help businesses make informed decisions about pricing and acquiring new products. For any store that wants to tighten or expand inventory, Cannabis Reports is the crystal ball.
Open API: Developers
Cannabis Reports is rooted in the belief in an open cannabis system. While others in the industry are closing their API and creating proprietary standards, Cannabis Reports invites all web and app developers to use their system.
