In 2014, Cannabis 1.0 was installed in Colorado for tracking seed to sale. There were few financial institutions participating so compliance was completely dependent on tracking and honor system from the initial seed/clone to the sale.
Today, all states follow this same program with a variety of vendors. The challenges with Cannabis 1.0 are
• Tax leak
• Inability to compare the product sold to actual money received
• Cole memorandum and compliance with FinCEN guidelines impossible to track orconsistency in financial statement, one of the red SARs reporting systems
