One batch, from the plant to the patient.

Scroll to follow a single batch of medicinal cannabis down the chain. At every step, the thing to notice is the same: what happened, and what Cultivar wrote down about it, are the same event.

Step 1

It starts as a plant, under licence.

A licensed grower cultivates the plant in a controlled environment. Nothing here is on sale yet, and nothing is on Cultivar yet either, except the grower's licence details, entered once.

What Cultivar recordsThe grower's licence, as stated by the grower.
Step 2

Harvested, dried, and sent to a laboratory.

Every production run becomes a batch with its own number. A laboratory checks it is free of contaminants and records its strength. That report travels with the batch for the rest of its life.

  • Batch number, once
  • Lab test attached, once
  • Expiry date set
What Cultivar recordsBatch 0426-A · lab test · expiry. Entered by the grower, read by everyone after.
Step 3

Packed, sealed, and now a controlled medicine.

Once it is a finished medicine it falls under Schedule 8, Australia's category for controlled medicines. From this moment every unit must be accounted for: where it is, who has it, and where it went.

What Cultivar recordsUnits in the batch, and the start of the ledger that follows each one.
Step 4

Shared out to dispensaries, then dispensed.

The distributor shares the batch across the dispensaries that ordered it. Each dispensary's ledger shows what came in. A pharmacist dispenses one unit to a patient against their prescription, and the ledger shows what went out.

  • Share-out across dispensaries before it ships
  • Ledger in and ledger out, per unit
  • Every line against a prescription
What Cultivar records6 units to this dispensary · 1 dispensed · 5 on hand. The regulator's six-monthly report is built from these lines.
Step 5

Collected by the patient, on their record.

The patient ordered the repeat from their phone, was told when it was ready, and collected it. Their portal shows what they received and which batch it came from. If that batch is ever recalled, they can be told directly.

What Cultivar recordsThe dispensing, linked to the patient's prescription and to batch 0426-A. Visible to the patient and their dispensary, and to nobody else.

One record, every step of the way.
