ERP Vendors Get Into Medical Marijuana Business

jfruhlinger writes "As medical marijuana is legalized in more and more states, a new market is emerging for ERP applications that can handle this unique business. Many people running medical marijuana dispenseries aren't used to running legitimate businesses and need technical help doing so. In addition, the drug itself is tricky to keep track of; as one vendor puts it, 'there's no other product that is sold by weight that evaporates, dehydrates and [turns into] shake.'"

    Ha ha. THC (and other active cannabinoids) do not evaporate but break down in the presence of light and/or oxygen. There is an optimal wetness (varies by individual preference), however it has to be dry enough to not mold if its in airtight storage (if its done drying, in other words). Theres a lot more too it proper drying and curing of pot, google is there for any interested souls. I don't think that quote was meant in relation to ANY and ALL products, but in relation to other medical products, like pills, creams, liquids, powders, etc.
