The Cannabis Industry is RIPE for a blockchain.
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>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.</p> <p>As a worker in the cannabis industry I wanted to shed some light on why this is a <em>great</em> idea and how useful a blockchain could really be.</p> <p>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. </p> <p>Since every single plant must be accounted for, we also have to make an entry in the system upon creating, destroying and <em>moving</em> these plants. So, when its time to transplant everything from our Veg room into our Flower room, we have a man who's <em>entire fucking job</em> revolves around moving those plants <em>in the digital system one at a time.</em></p> <p>If that seems excessive, its because it is.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>But we still have to talk about dispensaries.</p> <p>This one is a no brainer: Use the Hash Coins for payment on the very blockchain used to keep inventory in dispensaries. </p> <p>Let me tell you. The inventory systems at dispensaries are <em>fucked.</em></p> <p>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 <em>every day</em> while working at a dispensary.</p> <p>Fucking nightmare.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>I just think it would be cool to buy a joint, scan a qr code, and know exactly where my weed came from.</p> <p>Also you know, fuck the banks.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/SapphireBroam"> /u/SapphireBroam </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/oj24bb/the_cannabis_industry_is_ripe_for_a_blockchain/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/oj24bb/the_cannabis_industry_is_ripe_for_a_blockchain/">[comments]</a></span>Kind Regards R
