The Cannafolium concept was born out of necessity in the competitive, new Oregon cannabis marketplace in 2018. After establishing a successful indoor craft cultivation business in 2016, our founding member was frustrated with the state of the industry on many levels. From the deli style purchasing model to banking to social media regulations, the cards all seemed to be stacked against a market in its infancy which had always had the cards stacked against it. It was one thing to grow cannabis in a legal, wholesome way and cultivate relationships with dispensaries so that consumers would have access to the dried flowers and it was frustrating to then have no branding recognition attached to the product. There was no consumer-cultivator connection at the point-of-sale truly inhibiting brand awareness and consumer loyalty. This is the norm in many states where voters had opted for a state sanctioned system. To add another layer of frustration, social media giants did and currently do impose many arbitrary rules that negate any following on Instagram or Facebook without ever notifying the business. This goes for cultivators but especially dispensaries where simply posting a promotion or sale would get you silenced without notice. Suddenly dispensary and cultivator fans would no longer get any updates about these businesses further oppressing these entrepreneurial ventures that already faced so many challenges. The entrepreneurial spirit is the common thread and that which we hope to assist and embolden in this developing market so that it can thrive.
Our mission is to provide a business-centric environment where cultivators, dispensaries and processors can engage in a meaningful way with their audience and fans. We aim to add value to these small businesses by creating a brand awareness vehicle while solving additional issues with transparency to the end user by providing strain and harvest specific data that will aid in delivering the right product to the community member based on the feedback that they themselves have provided. Over time we intend to assist and curate the experience of novice users that are interested in cannabis but do not know where to start while simultaneously catering to “cannaseurs” by offering an engaging platform to develop influential profiles. This inherently adds value to businesses in name recognition and efficiency opportunities for dispensaries on the whole. There are still many issues that face this industry and our team has a plan in place to address these needs in an adaptive digital landscape. The time is now to embrace this evolving business ecosystem and elevate all through cannabis, collaboration and technology. The answer is there to those that seek it. Find Your Kind.
In recent years, cannabis legalization has been a hot topic and more countries and states legalize cannabis for medical and recreational use. In regulated markets, the relationship between cannabis users, cultivators, and dispensaries has become increasingly symbiotic, creating a thriving industry that benefits everyone involved.
The first and perhaps most obvious benefactor of this symbiotic relationship is the cannabis user. In regulated markets, consumers have access to a wide variety of high-quality cannabis products that meet strict safety and quality standards. They can choose from a range of strains and products, including flowers, concentrates, edibles, and topicals, each purportedly tailored to their specific needs and preferences.
Regulated markets provide consumers with valuable information about the products they are purchasing. (Yet there is something to be desired.) In addition to benefiting consumers, the symbiotic relationship between cultivators and dispensaries has created a exciting and thriving industry that generates significant economic activity. Cultivators work hard to grow high-quality cannabis plants, using cutting-edge techniques and equipment to produce the best possible product. They then sell their product to dispensaries, which in turn sell it to consumers. Meet the Trifecta.
Of course, there are still challenges to be addressed in the cannabis industry. Some people remain skeptical of the plant’s potential benefits, while others worry about the impact of cannabis use on public health and safety. However, by working together in regulated markets, consumers, cultivators, and dispensaries can overcome these challenges and continue to build a thriving industry that benefits everyone involved.
In conclusion, the symbiotic relationship between consumers, cultivators, and dispensaries in regulated markets has created a thriving cannabis industry that benefits everyone involved. Consumers have access to safe and high-quality cannabis products, while cultivators and dispensaries generate significant economic activity and contribute to important advances in cannabis research and development. As the cannabis industry continues to grow and evolve, it is clear that this symbiotic relationship will continue to play a vital role in its success.
Labels on cannabis products must include information about potency, dosage, and any potential side effects, allowing consumers to make informed decisions about what they are putting into their bodies.
