- No
Borders Inc.’s subsidiary No Borders Labs has launched a blockchain data
security platform called CBD Lab Chain to provide cannabis industry
participants peace of mind regarding the quality of cannabidiol products
- CBD
Lab Chain utilizes Ethereum blockchain technology to provide consumers
with supply chain transparency as they contemplate potential purchases
- The
technology allows consumers to scan a QR code or a batch number on a
product label that will allow consumers to see the product’s Lab Test
(COA) history recorded permanently and immutably on distributed ledger
(blockchain) technology
Nearly 40 years ago, a pre-digital era hacker generated
alarm and panic by adding poison to store shelf Tylenol capsules and
repackaging the medication so that the tampering wasn’t evident (http://ibn.fm/zL9Nl). The deaths
that resulted from the hack drove innovation that has since made
tamper-resistant bottle technologies standard in consumer markets.
Blockchain is becoming the 21st century iteration of
tamper-proof technology, and tech solutions provider No
Borders Inc. (OTC: NBDR) is one company in the industry that is
working to establish confidence-building supplier-to-consumer protocols that
make it far more difficult for malicious individuals to interfere with the
production chain without detection, and for unintended taints by legitimate
operators to remain untraceable.
No Borders is a multifaceted brand development and marketing
business using its new blockchain technology platform, CBD LabChain, to protect
consumers and securely inform them of the supply chain safety of cannabidiol
(CBD) products which are potentially susceptible to chemical taints, inordinate
tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) drug levels and incorrect CBD quality claims. The
technology is currently used to safeguard CBD products developed by another
subsidiary, No Borders Naturals, but has since become a potential revenue
stream through sales to outside CBD retailers (http://ibn.fm/I1Nc0).
Blockchain uses a series of digital “blocks” in sequence as
electronic signed receipts for every event that occurs in a transaction or
chain of transactions involving a product. No Borders Labs’ CBD LabChain
anticipates revenue from its technology through fees from companies dedicated
to demonstrating the transparency of their product chain through lab test
results that occur along the plant-to-product shelf route to the consumer.
The innovation is not occurring in a vacuum. Hemp Magazine
published a recent article that noted the criminal charge and jail time a
traveling CBD consumer incurred in New Mexico after her CBD bottle was found to
contain too much THC under state law, contrary to her purposes (http://ibn.fm/HuSTi). In
Nebraska, a family nearing the harvest of its CBD-intensive hemp crop was
forced to destroy the entire crop and suffer an expensive loss after hundreds
of hours of labor because regulators found the THC levels had been allowed to
grow too high (http://ibn.fm/NCUGp).
An increasing number of companies are investigating the
potential of blockchain to provide peace of mind and self-realization to their
customers, as evidenced by the announcement by America’s second-largest health
insurance company, Anthem, that it is pilot testing blockchain tech that will
allow patients to securely access their medical data and share it with medical
providers of their choice. The technology ensures minimal risk of sensitive
medical information falling unintended into the hands of another person.
According to a recent Forbes article, company officials
state all 40 million Anthem members will have access to the blockchain feature
in the next two to three years (http://ibn.fm/Ue77r). The pilot program allows users to
open a smartphone app, scan a QR code and instantly provide medical personnel
access to their health records temporarily, with the ability to revoke access
as soon as an appointment is over.
The insurer also expects to eventually use the technology to
process insurance claims and coordinate benefits faster.
No Borders also uses QR code tech in its application to
check the history of a product label without altering that history. The company
anticipates that federal regulators would also be able to use the technology in
the same way, granting an added measure of consumer assurances.
