It’s no secret that the demand for marijuana is ever increasing due to lowered stigma and increased research regarding its beneficial properties. Most people however are more interested in its recreational uses, therefore meaning the demand for production is increasing yet not financially viable for legal growers as recreational users do not have access to their products and would rather run to their friendly neighborhood “trap house” then take it upon themselves to do it the legal was. Now the question is, where is our friendly “trap dealer” acquiring his product.

Without legal jurisdiction to grow, many small street sellers have resulted to “borrowing” supplies from legal growers without their knowledge, leading to many unauthorized people having access to medical grade marijuana at no cost but pure profit.

Enrich Tech Systems is paving the way to funneling these profits back into the legal system by using biometrics to restrict access to only those who are authorized. By using DNA fingerprinting, one can now not only close off the greenhouses to anyone who is unauthorized, but they now have a full database of who and when employees gain access to the greenhouse making it easier to identify these working from the inside.
