OPINION: A name by any other name, cannabis names should reflect chemical expression via TheGrowthOp
When I first started using medical cannabis in 2015, my strain name knowledge was limited to pop culture standouts like Pineapple Express, AK-47 and OG Kush.
BlockStrain Technology Corp., a company out of Vancouver that reports creating the first blockchain-secured, integrated IP tracking platform for the cannabis industry, recently made a big splash, claiming a solution to the problem of strain name integrity. Using blockchain technology, the company looks to provide genetic certification for each strain produced by an LP.
These varietals, called chemovars or chemotypes, are subject not only to the rules of genetics, but also to the environment in which they were grown. Much like growing strawberries in a greenhouse results in different tasting berries than those grown outdoors, the cannabis plant can produce different levels of cannabinoids and terpenes dictated by growing conditions.
