// Definition
The use of blockchain technology to create immutable records of cannabis genetic sequences, preventing fraud in strain identification and creating an open-source, tamper-proof database of cultivar genetics.
// From the Episode
Kevin McKernan discussed using blockchain to register cannabis genetic data, similar to Bitcoin transactions. The idea was to etch genetic sequences into the blockchain to create permanent, verifiable records. He advocated for open-source approaches to cannabis genomics, and mentioned the Phylos Galaxy as a visual mapping tool for strain relationships. The discussion touched on how there were roughly 12 prominent strain families in cannabis that most cultivars mapped back to.
