CANNABIS DAO is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) established to promote research, development, and innovation in cannabis science.&#x20;

In recent years, cannabis has rapidly grown in various fields, including medical, health, and wellness industries, as well as beauty, textiles, food, energy, building materials, and carbon neutrality, attracting increasing attention for its potential therapeutic effects and business opportunities.&#x20;

However, challenges such as regulations, restrictions on research, and difficulties in fundraising still exist, hindering the progress of cannabis science.
