New Tech for Tracking and Identifying Cannabis Strains Developed by Israeli Company

Called the Cannabis Genetic Fingerprint (CGF) system, the technology makes use of genetic sequencing to ID a cannabis plant. Until now, doing so was virtually impossible without measuring numerous subjective parameters such as its lab tested active ingredients, the plant’s physical characteristics such as leaf color and height, stem diameter, and other aspects. These have proven to be faulty and unreliable in the past, which have had serious implications for the use of cannabis as a medical treatment.
