Blockchain 360 Podcast

Paragon is a distributed ledger for the marijuana industry.

An interview with Jessica VerSteeg, former model, Miss Iowa US 2014, on The Amazing Race season 28, CEO of AuBox, and now CEO of PARAGON. PARAGON is a distributed ledger for the marijuana industry, which enables secure and transparent record-keeping for doctor registries, marijuana IDs, and prescriptions.

Key takeaways:

1. There are many medical benefits to cannabis, including chronic pain relief, anxiety relief, etc. Unfortunately, governments, social stigmas and uneducated politicians hinder the positive change that marijuana could bring.
2. Currently, there is no established standards for purity, lab testing, ID verification, organic or eco-friendly certifications, prescriptions, THC/CBD potency, start-to-finish
   tracking, and so on. Having all this information publically available on the blockchain will solve that.
3. There are few places that allow cannabis businesses to rent office space, making it incredibly difficult for start-ups – but Paragon seeks to create co-working spaces.
4. The Paragon team is chock-full of talent, with backgrounds at Facebook, CISCO, Stocks.Exchange, City National Bank… and rapper The Game sits on their advisory board.

Paragon’s token crowdsale will be from September 15th- October 15th.
