Medicinal Genomics, a burgeoning bio-engineering start-up, is preparing to release a cannabis sequence app that includes every subspecies of the plant,
Located in Amsterdam (big surprise), Medicinal Genomics appreciates the speed with which the marijuana growing business is growing and knows that, at some point, government regulation will force cultivators to catalog which strains they grow. With that in mind, the company set out on and recently accomplished the gargantuan task of sequencing the entire genome of the plant. And here's the rub, MG is preparing to release all that information -- for a price -- via a cannabis sequence app.
When prohibitive governments inevitably dip their fingers into the elicit drug industry, which might as well print money, they'll require a degree of standardization, which means identifying and fingerprinting each cannabis subspecies. You could even grown your own favorite, esoteric strains of weed thanks to this application and changing laws. How does Bubblegum Kush sound?
