Medical MJ Track and Trace= BS

Not sure why news of a proposal to track and trace medical marijuana in the county pisses me off. After all, it should come as no surprise that politicians and bureaucrats want to get involved in the marijuana industry. I guess I'm annoyed because it seems to be yet another solution in search of a problem. What's the problem this is supposed to solve? They can't just let the marijuana industry do its own thing as it has so successfully so far. Nope. Some in government just have to get their fair share of it. So what will this track and trace accomplish. According to KIEM-TV it will " ... create a brand of Humboldt County medical cannabis, it will inspire local growers to enter the legal medical cannabis business." "The crop will be given a traceable stamp, created by SICPA, which is coded with tons of information like its strain, and where it came from. Each link in the chain before the product were to get to a patient, will scan all of this information to create an effective tracking process. The patient can then use the stamp's QR code with their smart phone in order to verify that their product is legitimate." This seems totally unnecessary to me. I'll admit to not being in the marijuana loop, but I haven't even heard a whisper of complaints regarding people being defrauded by whatever kind of marijuana they thought they were buying. I've never heard any of the pot smokers I know express concerns about what they were getting- again, a solution in search of a problem. And so it goes with Humboldt. I guess that shows we're no different than the rest of the state or country in that regard: Government first. What works later.
