Enhanced Cultivation Security Protocol
Exceeding ISO IWA 37-2/ASIS Standards by 30% for Cannabis Research Excellence
Mandatory Security Protocol
ALL research participants must review, understand, and acknowledge compliance with the Enhanced Cultivation Security Protocol before enrollment. This protocol is mandatory for all four research programs and exceeds industry standards by 30%.
Protocol Overview
The International Cannabis Research Institute (ICRI) has developed the Enhanced Cultivation Security Protocol specifically for Schedule III cannabis research under the December 18, 2025 Executive Order. This protocol exceeds ISO IWA 37-2 and ASIS International guidelines by 30%, ensuring the highest standards of security, chain-of-custody integrity, and regulatory compliance.
Multi-Layer Access Control
Biometric authentication, badge systems, and real-time monitoring for all facility access points.
AI Surveillance
24/7 AI-powered monitoring with motion detection, anomaly alerts, and redundant backup systems.
Blockchain Verification
Immutable chain-of-custody records for all research materials and certification credentials.

Participant Security Guidelines
All research participants enrolled in ICRI programs must adhere to the following security best practices:
Low-Profile Operations
Maintain discretion in all cultivation activities. Avoid advertising participation or displaying research materials publicly.
Secure Storage Requirements
All research materials must be stored in locked, secure locations with controlled access. Implement climate control when possible.
Documentation & Chain of Custody
Maintain accurate records of all research activities. Document any transfers, usage, or modifications to research materials.
Incident Reporting
Report any security breaches, theft attempts, or suspicious activities to ICRI immediately at [email protected].
Visitor Access Control
Restrict access to research areas. Maintain visitor logs and ensure all visitors are supervised while in secure areas.
Digital Security
Protect all research data with strong passwords. Use encrypted communication channels for sensitive information.
Compliance with Local Laws
Ensure all activities comply with state and local cannabis regulations. Maintain required licenses and permits.
Mandatory Acknowledgment Required
All participants must complete a security protocol acknowledgment form during enrollment for ALL four research programs. This acknowledgment confirms understanding of and agreement to comply with the Enhanced Cultivation Security Protocol.
Security acknowledgment is required for:
- Pheno-Hunter Collaboration Program ($299)
- Citizen Effects Database Study ($149/$299)
- Certified Cannabis Research Scientist Program ($399)
- Sponsored Strain Certification Program ($5K-$25K)
