Due to the lack of comprehensive research on the federal level, cannabis users have largely relied on a frustrating trial-by-error process to find the most effective products for their conditions.
We know how vulnerable this makes you feel -- spending hundreds of dollars at the dispensary counter without knowing if the products you purchased will even address your specific needs.
Tetragram was built to bridge this gap.
Through journaling your treatment in the Tetragram app, you’ll learn which products treat your symptoms best so that you can get the most out of your cannabis experience saving you time, money, and frustration.

While growing this business, He graduated from Bowie State University with a degree in Business Marketing.
After the recession in 2008, Otha closed Aggressive Detailing and secured an Outside Sales position at Constellation Energy, selling solar to residential and commercial customers.

Julius Moore
CTO
Julius attained a B.S. degree in Computer Science from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. From a young age, he had a passion for computers and programming in particular. His career started after college with a seven-year stint at a company working with the Department of Defense focusing on command and control systems.
In pursuit of his entrepreneurial spirit, he took a six-month break and co-founded a company building a new social networking system that won a place in a Washington D.C. based Incubator. After moving on from the Department of Defense and social networking, he joined a company focusing on educational technology. Within two years, he rose to become the Director of Technology and helped build the company from 5 people to 13 people.
Having chronic illness and anxiety in his family, Julius began to recommend medical cannabis to his family members, but quickly found out that it was hard to keep track of what products were appropriate for each person's situation. With Tetragram, he hopes to empower his family with the knowledge of how medical cannabis helps them and others like them.
