Abstract

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method of managing information related to a cannabis product across a distributed validated system. The method includes enabling an authorized user to create a plurality of data containing genetic profile of a seed, plant growth conditions of a crop, and manufacturing information used for production of the cannabis product, and measurements of quality and quantity of desired components and undesired components in the cannabis product. The method includes associating the plurality of data to a record which is identified by a unique identifier. The method includes storing the record into a memory for access by one or more of a plurality of authorized users using the unique identifier. The method includes analyzing the cannabis product to determine the quality and quantity of desired components and undesired components in the cannabis product. The method includes determining concentration of cannabinoids in the cannabis product.

Claims (43)

1. A method of managing information related to a cannabis product across a distributed validated system, comprising:

enabling a first authorized user to create a first plurality of data containing genetic profile of a seed used for production of the cannabis product;

associating the first plurality of data to a first record which is identified by a first unique identifier;

storing the first record into a memory for access by one or more of a plurality of authorized users using the first unique identifier;

enabling a second authorized user to create a second plurality of data containing plant growth conditions of a crop used for production of the cannabis product;

associating the second plurality of data to a second record which is identified by a second unique identifier;

storing the second record into the memory for access by the one or more of the plurality of authorized users using the second unique identifier;

enabling a third authorized user to create a third plurality of data containing manufacturing information for production of the cannabis product;

associating the third plurality of data to a third record which is identified by a third unique identifier;

storing the third record into the memory for access by the one or more of the plurality of authorized users using the third unique identifier;

analyzing the cannabis product to determine quality and quantity of desired components and undesired components in the cannabis product using one or more of: cannabinoid profiling, microbiological testing, analytical testing, food testing, acidified food testing, liquid testing, pathogen testing, quality control testing, and quality assurance testing;

determining concentration of one or more cannabinoids in the cannabis product;

enabling a fourth authorized user to create a fourth plurality of data containing measurements of the quality and quantity of desired components and undesired components in the cannabis product;

associating the fourth plurality of data to a fourth record which is identified by a fourth unique identifier;

storing the fourth record into the memory for access by the one or more of the plurality of authorized users using the fourth unique identifier;

determining, based on the quality and quantity of the desired components and the undesired components and the concentration of the one or more cannabinoids in the cannabis product, whether the cannabis product meets regulatory guidelines; and

correlating whether the cannabis product meets the regulatory guidelines with the first record, the second record, the third record, and the fourth record.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the first identifier, the second identifier, the third identifier, and the fourth identifier provides access to one or more of: the first plurality of data, the second plurality of data, the third plurality of data, and the fourth plurality of data.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the first record, the second record, the third record, and the fourth record includes a timestamp.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the storing the first record step, the storing the second record step, the storing the third record step, and the storing the fourth record step is validated by the one or more of the plurality of authorized users.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first plurality of data further includes one selected from the group consisting of: seed purchase request data, grower data, breeder data, seed purchase data, and combinations thereof.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second plurality of data includes one selected from the group consisting of: seed planting data, soil data, weather data, water data, moisture data, pressure data, light data, nutrient data, pesticide data, microorganism data, toxicant data, crop growth data, harvesting data, storage data, and combinations thereof.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the third plurality of data includes one selected from the group consisting of: supply data, distribution data, extraction data, purification data, and combinations thereof.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the steps of:

comparing measurements of the quality and quantity of desired components and undesired components in the one or more cannabis products and the concentration of one or more cannabinoids against appropriate regulations for consumption of the cannabis product; and

certifying that the cannabis products satisfies or fails the appropriate regulations.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the steps of:

enabling a fifth authorized user to create a fifth plurality of data containing dose and dosage of the cannabis product provided to a consumer;

associating the fifth plurality of data to a fifth record which is identified by a fifth unique identifier; and

storing the fifth record into the memory for access by the one or more of the plurality of authorized users using the fifth unique identifier.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the fifth identifier provides access to one or more of: the first plurality of data, the second plurality of data, the third plurality of data, the fourth plurality of data, and the fifth plurality of data.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the fifth record includes a timestamp.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the fifth plurality of data includes one selected from the group consisting of: physician data, pharmacist data, patient data, consumer data, imaging data, treatment data, treatment outcome data, and combinations thereof.

13. A method of managing information related to a cannabis product across a distributed validated system, comprising:

preparing a sample of the cannabis product;

testing the sample to determine one or more parameters of: moisture content, microbe/pathogen/mycotoxin profile, pesticide and toxicant profile, residual solvents, heavy metal content, terpene profile, and cannabinoid profile;

enabling an authorized user to create a plurality of data containing parameters obtained in the testing step;

associating the plurality of data to a record which is identified by a unique identifier; and

storing the record into a memory for access by one or more of a plurality of authorized users using the unique identifier;

determining, based on the parameters of the cannabis product, whether the cannabis product meets regulatory guidelines;

correlating whether the cannabis product meets the regulatory guidelines with the record.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising the step of:

storing the cannabis product over a predetermined period.
