What is the Research Store

Access the best cannabis products at the lowest possible price — and help shape what we build next.

The Research Store is a short-term initiative of iNkosi yeSativa Co-operative. We have sourced products from the leading cannabis manufacturers available today — vapes, oils, flower, edibles and pharmaceutical products. There is no markup for profit. The objective is not to run a commercial store; it is to gather real, independent data in real time.

Every purchase, return, and product rating feeds directly into an evaluation programme that will determine which manufacturers the Co-operative partners with when placing the large-scale orders that hundreds of grower-members will eventually depend on. We are not guessing. We are testing.

Why Become a Member

Prices kept as low as possible

We are not here to make a margin. Products are priced to reflect our actual cost of acquisition. Where a manufacturer offers a better deal, that benefit is passed directly to members.

Verified products only

We do not stock new, unknown, or unproven manufacturers. Every product in the Research Store has been selected on the basis of industry recognition, independent testing, and demonstrated quality.

Your data stays private

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information. The data we collect is transactional — what was purchased, what was returned, how products performed. Names are not what we are after.

A note on South African law

Under current South African legislation, THC-containing cannabis products may only be made available within a verified private membership framework. Membership is the mechanism that allows us to operate lawfully. It is free, it takes less than two minutes, and it requires only that you confirm you are an adult resident of South Africa. This is not a subscription. There are no recurring charges. You will not be added to a marketing list.

This is not the Growers Co-operative

Research Store Membership is for buyers — South Africans who want access to verified cannabis products. It is entirely separate from membership of the iNkosi yeSativa Agricultural Co-operative, which is open to cultivators and growers across KwaZulu-Natal and is built on a very different model.

If you are a grower or have an interest in the co-operative ownership structure, Join the Co-op.
