OpenCann is accelerating the development of new botanical-based therapeutics by increasing data accessibility in nascent legal cannabis and hemp markets. Creating new infrastructure and incentives to facilitate data sharing and research products in the public domain will reshape the cannabis research landscape through decentralized science, fostering collaboration, and ensuring open access.
OpenCann is a community-driven initiative, aiming to harness the vast therapeutic potential of phytocannabinoids through a democratized knowledge platform.

Presentation: “High On Data” (~10min)
OpenCann is the culmination of two years of extensive research, enriched by countless conversations with experts and stakeholders from both cannabis and web3. Our vision is a community-governed, open-source data marketplace, where collaboration is the cornerstone. This is more than just sharing data; it's about creating an ecosystem where the benefits of cannabis research are accessible to all.
Open-Cann = Open-Source, Open-Science, and Open-Access
All of our work has been made available in the public domain without restriction since our inception in 2021. In addition to multiple open-source repositories on GitHub, two of which are highlighted below, we also maintain an incredibly detailed community wiki available at https://docs.opencann.net/.
OpenCann Dashboard: the portal to the OpenCann Marketplace and DAO. The dashboard is built on web3 social rails to enable users to interact with each other (e.g. via posts, comments, proposals, bounties, events, etc) in the same place that they're curating, exchanging, and using data.
Cannstagram: an image-oriented social media platform that enables users to mint and list posts to the OpenCann Marketplace.
The therapeutic applications of cannabis span a wide spectrum. With OpenCann, we're not just exploring this potential, but ensuring it's realized. By integrating artificial intelligence into our framework, we envision a future where AI-driven insights amplify our research endeavors. This is the next step in collaborative evolution.
