Pilot framework in developmentParticipant inquiries opening soon
The operating premise
Trade visibility without surrendering authority
FNT establishes common participation standards and gives approved participants a controlled view of available supply and documented need. Participants make their own commercial arrangements and rely on their own governing authorities for movement approval.
FNT does not create legal authority for cannabis commerce. It organizes participant readiness, introductions, notices, chain-of-custody records, exceptions, and program accountability.
