Chapter 5, Problem 1OC

Explanation of Solution

Role of database technology for enabling Colorado to monitoring the production and distribution process of marijuana:

The method of harvesting planting, and cultivating marijuana is carefully monitored by the Colorado state to the point that each plant is saved for as wanted by the state’s MMED (Medical Marijuana Enforcement Division).

• The cultivators must put a microchip on every plant according to the state rule for recording and monitoring in Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Tracking Reporting Compliance.
• The Marijuana Enforcement Tracking Reporting Compliance system gives end-to-end tracking and also outlining of marijuana plants and products.
• The Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) technology uses bar codes to closely watching even the plant’s trimming because though customers only smoke the marijuana flower so called waste weight is just as important to the state MMED.
• Through the Marijuana Enforcement Tracking Reporting Compliance system and the use of Radio-Frequency Identification tags for every single individual plant, regulators, every plant and batch package are able to track the plants from “bud to blunt” and determine when plants go missing.
