An interesting and novel system for tracking cannabis movement was recently disclosed in issued patent 10,530,584. The '584 patent teaches a method for tracking a cannabis plant by encoding a cryptographic hash function into a strain’s genome which is verified with a label bearing a machine-readable code associated with the cryptographic function and the weight of the package.
A server hosting all of this information is accessible and updated in real time by a label reader with biometric sensors to record the identities of the handlers.
With more states legalizing cannabis, there is a need for ensuring that the cannabis being produced remains in the legal market and doesn’t make into the hands of cartel members and dangerous criminals alike.
Cannabis is now legally being used to treat a wide variety of medical conditions, including chronic pain, alcoholism, anxiety, nausea (from chemotherapy) and epilepsy.
