Developing a Blockchain Solution for West Virginia Medicinal Cannabis
Abstract
West Virginia became the 29th state in the country to legalize cannabis for medicinal purposes in 2017. Two years later, the state's medicinal marijuana program is scheduled to start enrolling patients; however, state legislators acknowledge that the program is still years behind actual implementation due to obstacles that have become seemingly insurmountable via existing channels. This paper undertakes a holistic evaluation of the value of blockchain to the nascent medicinal marijuana industry in West Virginia. Three use cases are presented to address the difficulties the state has experienced during the program's first two years of rollout efforts. Specifically, a blockchain use case is developed to address the issue of traceability to prove provenance, managing the vertically integrated supply chain and because of federal tax law the particularly cumbersome issue of collecting and storing payments.
