The challenges of the medical cannabis market
The medical cannabis market still faces significant challenges that limit its growth and adoption. Among the main problems are the lack of standardization in access to medicines, regulatory bureaucracy and distrust about the origin of the products. This creates an unstable environment both for patients who need treatment and for producers seeking to operate within the rules.
Currently, a patient wishing to obtain medicinal cannabis in Brazil goes through a long and complicated process, facing obstacles from the medical prescription to the purchase of the drug. What’s more, there is no reliable system to guarantee the traceability of the product, the authenticity of the prescription and regulatory compliance.
The solution: ID Kanna
The question that remains is: how can we guarantee a reliable, safe and transparent system for patients, doctors and producers?
The answer may lie in ID Kanna, a blockchain-based digital identity that is under development and aims to transform the sector by creating a secure, decentralized ecosystem where patients, doctors, suppliers and regulatory bodies can operate with trust and transparency. ID Kanna is not just a registry, but a complete technological solution for organizing and legitimizing access to medical cannabis in Brazil.
In this article, we’ll explore what ID Kanna is, how it solves the industry’s main challenges, and why it could be the government’s official solution for regulating medical cannabis.
2. What is ID Kanna and how does it solve these problems?
The Kanna ID will be a digital patient identity (NFT), stored on blockchain, which will allow secure and transparent onboarding in the medical cannabis ecosystem. It works like a digital card, but with a crucial difference: it uses decentralized technology to guarantee authenticity and regulatory compliance.
Kanna ID’s main features:
- Validated and secure patient registration: The Kanna ID certifies that the patient has undergone a legitimate prescription process and meets legal criteria.
- Integrated purchase history and medical information: All data is stored securely and accessible to the patient, doctors and suppliers only with the patient’s approval.
- Easier access to medicines and prescriptions: With the Kanna ID, patients can obtain products without going through unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles.
- Ensuring legal compliance when disposing of products: Kanna ID tracks the origin and destination of the medicine, preventing detour and guaranteeing correct use.
Differential: full traceability of the product journey
With ID Kanna, it will be possible to follow the entire journey of the product, from its origin (producer and laboratory), through distributors and carriers, to the end patient. This guarantees security, transparency and trust in the sector.
3. Kanna ID Technology: Security and Reliability
The great thing about the Kanna ID will be its blockchain-based technological infrastructure. It uses a decentralized validation model, similar to Kanna’s ESG protocol, to ensure that all information is verified and stored securely.
Decentralized validation and certification
The validator system certifies essential information such as:
- Valid, notarized prescription.
- CRM of the prescribing doctor.
- KYC (know your customer) of the patient.
- Prescription items.
- Clinical history for cultivation authorization purposes.
With this model, ID Kanna creates a system of trust that prevents fraud and ensures that only qualified patients have access to regulated products.
Privacy and user control
Unlike centralized systems, in ID Kanna, the patient has complete control over their data. They decide how and with whom to share information, guaranteeing security and regulatory compliance.
4. How can ID Kanna become the official government solution?
The importance of cannabis cards in regulated markets
In countries where cannabis is regulated, possession of an official card is mandatory for medicinal patients. Examples include:
- USA: Medical Marijuana Card.
- Canada: Cannabis Card.
- Europe: National registers for medicinal use.
In these places, the identification system facilitates the control and supervision of cannabis use, ensuring that only approved patients have access to the products.
How can Kanna ID be adopted by the Brazilian government?
Currently, Brazil does not have a national certification system for medical cannabis patients. This creates regulatory challenges and opens up loopholes for fraud and the underground market.
ID Kanna solves this problem by positioning itself as the first decentralized digital identity for medical cannabis patients in Brazil.
- Benefits for the government:
- Reliable monitoring of the production and consumption of medicinal cannabis.
- Facilitating inspection and compliance with regulatory standards.
- Reducing the illegal market and controlling the destination of products.
- Strategic partnerships:
- Kanna is already connected with market players and institutions that can help regulate the sector.
- Adopting Kanna ID as an official solution could be an essential step towards creating robust and transparent regulation.
5. The future of ID Kanna and the evolution of the ecosystem
Expanding certification and traceability
The next steps include integrating ID Kanna with new players in the production chain, including:
- Producers and laboratories.
- Transport companies and distributors.
- Specialized clinics and pharmacies.
- Regulators and inspection bodies.
With this advance, ID Kanna will be able to record the entire product cycle, from production to final disposal by the patient.
Financial integration: Kanna ID as a means of payment
ID Kanna will not only offer an identification and certification system, but will also integrate innovative financial solutions to facilitate the patient experience and improve the efficiency of the ecosystem.
- KNN token wallet: ID Kanna will feature a digital wallet where users can store and use KNN tokens for different transactions within the platform.
- Digital payments: Patients will be able to use their KNN tokens to pay for medicines, medical appointments and services within the ecosystem, ensuring an agile and secure process.
- Benefits and rewards: ID Kanna will be able to offer exclusive advantages to its users, such as discounts at pharmacies and associated clinics, creating a sustainable model for encouraging the regulated use of medical cannabis.
Conclusion
The regulation of medicinal cannabis in Brazil needs a modern, reliable and transparent solution. ID Kanna is that solution. It creates an ecosystem where patients, doctors, producers and the government can operate safely and confidently.
The adoption of the Kanna ID as an official regulatory tool can boost the growth of the sector, attract investors and guarantee a sustainable and safe market for all involved. Now is the time to transform the way Brazil treats medical cannabis. Kanna is ready to lead this revolution.
