SpiderKid, that is correct! There are also currently no pesticides approved for use on quinoa in the U.S. Therefore, pesticide use on quinoa is illegal. ;)
We ordered a thousand or so just to see what a pain in the ass its goin to be in the warehouses and dispensaries..the state is really pushing for us to pre-weigh and package everything at the warehouse and then just transfer finished product ready for sale to the dispensaries..we are supposed to be completely using it as a dedicated tracking software by Jan 1 and we don't even have all the software in hand yet..
Outside the software issues, what about using these tags themselves? They're just disposed of at the end of the 'life' of the plant in question?
And, are you saying that they basically want you to pre-package, by weight (?) all product? How's the tagging system going to work for each gram, especially at the cost I saw outlined in the article? It appears that if you're going to have to tag post-packaging, then you're going to have to tag practically each gram (each pack), which will again add to the cost and that will, again, be accounted for at the end, meaning high prices.
This is kinda a cluster fuck. I mean, I can totally understand why they want to do this, but execution seems to be problematic, to say the least.
