The illicit trade and unauthorized diversion of legal marijuana products is jeopardizing consumer safety and costing states hundreds of millions of dollars in lost revenue.

The alliance couples TruTag’s “edible barcode” technology platform with Tag-it Tech’s blockchain-based tracking system. The combined platform offers regulators and producers unparalleled visibility, auditability and a means of safeguarding the cannabis supply chain.

“Blockchain innovation offers producers, regulators and dispensers a novel means of information-sharing in the supply chain. However, blockchain systems still require a secure link between the physical and digital world,” said Paul Schutt, chief executive officer and co-founder of Tag-it Tech. “TruTag’s micro-taggant technology is perfect in this respect–providing a covert means of directly tagging cannabis products and their edible derivatives.”
