The Cannabis Industry is RIPE for a blockchain.

I've seen talk here and there about how a Cannabis based Crypto Currency could be a huge boon. A Hash Coin, if you will.

As a worker in the cannabis industry I wanted to shed some light on why this is a great idea and how useful a blockchain could really be.

For starters, on the grow end, every single plant is tracked and catalogued from the day it reaches 6 inches in size. Phallic puns aside, getting every single plant tagged and accounted for is a massive use of man hours when working in a facility such as I do with over 3000 plants.

Since every single plant must be accounted for, we also have to make an entry in the system upon creating, destroying and moving these plants. So, when its time to transplant everything from our Veg room into our Flower room, we have a man who's entire fucking job revolves around moving those plants in the digital system one at a time.

If that seems excessive, its because it is.

Now I'm just an over paid gardener ape, but even I know that our workload would be significantly reduced by the introduction of a blockchain to store and organize that data.

But we still have to talk about dispensaries.

This one is a no brainer: Use the Hash Coins for payment on the very blockchain used to keep inventory in dispensaries.

Let me tell you. The inventory systems at dispensaries are fucked.

Those of you who work in retail know how hard it is to keep on top of inventory, especially during peak business. Cannabis business never stops. It's a constant barrage of moving parts that are getting constantly jammed and hung up on one another. I would have to come in at 6 AM and do inventory for 2 hours every day while working at a dispensary.

Fucking nightmare.

Anyway, those are my thoughts about how a cannabis blockchain would be really cool and beneficial. I'm just an ape gardener, so I appreciate any feedback from all you wonderful people who understand more about the implementation of crypto.

I just think it would be cool to buy a joint, scan a qr code, and know exactly where my weed came from.

Also you know, fuck the banks.
