What Cannakeys does

Cannakeys operates CannaKeys 360°, a subscription-based research and meta-analysis platform that aggregates and organizes scientific literature on the endocannabinoid system (ECS), cannabis, and cannabinoid therapies. The platform presents 10,905 curated studies across 320+ medical conditions, 150+ cannabinoids, 17+ terpenes, and 12 organ systems, serving healthcare practitioners (physicians, nurses, clinicians), patients and caregivers, policy makers, cannabis industry professionals, and academic institutions with consolidated, quality-ranked evidence previously scattered across PubMed and other primary databases.

The flagship product, CannaKeys 360°, is structured around four search modules — Medical Condition, Cannabinoid, Terpene, and Organ System — exposed through filterable dashboards with study-type breakdowns, chemotype guidance (Chemotype I/II/III THC:CBD ratios), clinical dosing summaries, drug-interaction information, and a proprietary Strength of Science rating that weights evidence from lab trials up to meta-analyses of clinical studies. A proprietary primary/related study designation system distinguishes studies that directly examine a search subject from those that address it tangentially, with only primary studies feeding the Strength of Science ratings. Supplementary offerings include Treatment Algorithms for ten clinical indications, a content library (CK Blog, Insights, Q&A, Study Spotlights, podcasts, and videos), and two published educational books distributed via Amazon (Cannabis for Chronic Pain Relief; Endocannabinoid Medicine: 12 Keys to Deeper Healing). The platform is accessible only via web browser at cannakeys.com — there is no native mobile app, no public API, and no disclosed SDK or MCP integration.

Revenue is generated entirely through tiered subscription plans: Individual (monthly/annual), Student discount, Member Organization (group access for clinics and professional groups), Schools and Academic Institutions (site licensing for universities and medical schools), and Healthcare and Business (clinical decision support and product development use cases). Distribution is direct-to-customer through cannakeys.com, supplemented by free demo modules across all four search dimensions and a CK Affiliate Program that drives referral acquisition. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Customer acquisition is reinforced by endorsements and GTM partnerships with 18 professional healthcare and cannabis organizations — including the American Cannabis Nurses Association, Association of Cannabinoid Specialists, Society of Cannabis Clinicians, WeCann Academy, and Grupo Curativa — providing channel credibility rather than paid distribution.

Direct peers

• Project CBD: Nonprofit educational platform dedicated to cannabis and cannabinoid science, producing research summaries and condition-specific content. Directly comparable as a free/subscription cannabis research and information resource for clinicians and patients.
• The Cannigma: Cannabis science media outlet that publishes evidence-based content for patients and healthcare professionals. Direct peer as both operate in cannabis science communication targeting overlapping audiences; Cannakeys already lists Cannigma as a partner.
• Healer.com: Cannabis education platform founded by Dr. Dustin Sulak offering clinician training and patient resources on cannabinoid medicine. Direct peer with overlapping clinician/patient audience and education-focused subscription products.

Emerging players

• Releaf App: Mobile app for tracking cannabis treatment outcomes and product effects with a research-oriented data layer. Emerging player with overlapping patient/clinician use cases but focuses on patient-reported outcomes rather than literature curation.
• Veriheal: Cannabis telehealth and education platform connecting patients with clinicians and providing condition/cannabinoid information. Emerging player with overlapping patient education function and cannabis clinician marketplace.
• CBD Oracle: Independent cannabis/CBD research and review publication covering product testing and scientific literature. Emerging player with comparable science-communication function for consumers and clinicians in the cannabis space.

Others

• Zelira Therapeutics: Cannabis-focused clinical therapeutics company led by Mara Gordon (an endorser of Cannakeys). Adjacent ecosystem participant in medical cannabis product development that overlaps in the clinical-cannabinoid practitioner audience.

Broad incumbents

• PubMed: National Library of Medicine's free biomedical literature database indexing 35M+ citations. Broad incumbent that serves as the underlying source Cannakeys curates from; competing free alternative that practitioners also use directly.
• Weedmaps: Major cannabis marketplace and information platform with educational content for consumers. Broad incumbent; comparable on the patient/caregiver information axis though core business is dispensary listings rather than scientific research.
• Leafly: Largest cannabis information platform with strain data, dispensary listings, and educational content including some research summaries. Broad incumbent in cannabis information; overlaps with Cannakeys on patient education but lacks deep scientific meta-analysis.
