1. A method for controlling the transfer of a controlled substance via a network of distributors, the method comprising the steps of:
providing a computer-implemented data repository for receiving and communicating information, wherein the information includes governing body data, controlled substance distributor data, and controlled substance recipient data;
providing a governing body to approve distributors to form a network of distributors;
communicating governing body data including a distinct distributor program identification number for each approved distributor of the network of distributors to the computer-implemented data repository;
communicating controlled substance distributor data to the computer-implemented data repository, wherein the controlled substance distributor data includes:
distributor administrator data for each approved distributor, wherein the distributor administrator data includes an administrator program identification number and administrator biometric data; and
distributor individual data from at least one authorized individual associated with each approved distributor, wherein the distributor individual data includes a stored authorized distributor individual identification number and stored authorized distributor individual biometric data;
communicating controlled substance recipient data to the computer-implemented data repository, wherein the controlled substance recipient data includes:
a stored recipient program identification number and stored recipient biometric data from at least one recipient;
a controlled substance amount limit, wherein the amount limit is a total quantity of the controlled substance the recipient may receive during a predetermined time interval; and
a controlled substance total, wherein the substance total is a total amount of the controlled substance the recipient has already purchased during the time interval;
executing a controlled substance transaction for an amount of the controlled substance, wherein the transaction includes:
providing a controlled substance transaction system for executing services related to the exchange of the controlled substance, the controlled substance transaction system including a first barrier and a second barrier, wherein the first barrier is unlocked upon confirmation of the identity of an authorized individual associated with a distributor and wherein the second barrier is unlocked upon confirmation of an identity of a recipient;
entering an authorized distributor individual identification number and authorized distributor individual biometric data of the authorized individual associated with a distributor;
confirming the identity of the authorized individual associated with a distributor by comparing the authorized distributor individual identification number and authorized distributor individual biometric data with the stored authorized distributor individual identification number and stored authorized distributor individual biometric data corresponding to the authorized individual associated with a distributor;
unlocking the first barrier of the controlled substance transaction system if the authorized distributor individual identification number and authorized distributor individual biometric data match the stored authorized distributor individual identification number and stored authorized distributor individual biometric data corresponding to the authorized individual associated with a distributor;
entering a first recipient program identification number and a first recipient biometric data of the recipient;
confirming the identity of the recipient by comparing the first recipient program identification number and the first recipient biometric data with the stored recipient program identification number and stored biometric data corresponding to the recipient;
unlocking the second barrier of the controlled substance transaction system if the first recipient program identification number and the first recipient biometric data match the stored recipient program identification number and the stored recipient biometric data corresponding to the recipient;
entering a requested amount of the controlled substance;
tracking the weight quantity change of the controlled substance total due to one or more than one of expansion, shrinkage, waste, absorption of ambient humidity, and by drying of the controlled substance over time, and updating the controlled substance total to the computer-implemented data repository;
comparing a sum of the controlled substance total and the requested amount of the controlled substance with the controlled substance amount limit; and
transferring the requested amount of the controlled substance to the recipient if the sum is less than or equal to the controlled substance amount limit or rejecting the requested amount of the controlled substance to the recipient if the sum is not less than or equal to the controlled substance amount limit;
updating the controlled substance total in the computer-implemented data repository in view of the controlled substance transaction; and
recording the controlled substance transaction in the computer-implemented data repository;
wherein the controlled substance is cannabis based.
