There's patents everywhere and it's a big mess and you couldn't really grow your company too large without, you know, myriads of other companies coming in and hitting you with their patents. And so when we approached the cannabis genome, we said, screw this, we're going to put the whole genome public before anyone has a chance to patent it. And at that time, I didn't understand Bitcoin.
patent to it and no one else can actually go and patent it yes it puts it puts in the public domain got it so um now oftentimes the uspto doesn't find cannabis content because a lot of cannabis content is forced to have like are you 21 or older to come into our website so they don't even crawl those sites this is for prior art um so there isn't a very good um preliminary search engine for this so what we did when we spoke to attorneys they said the best thing you can do
Now we know there's a better way to do this, but at the time it was submitted to the USPTO as a patent application and then abandoned it. That way it's in their database. They can't miss it. If they miss it, then if you ever have to go back and do a ex parte re-exam and show them, hey, look, it was in your database and you missed it, it's a really simple open and shut case.
Today, you don't need to do that. Today, you can basically publish the sequence online, put a fingerprint in the Bitcoin blockchain, and you've got proof of when it existed. The Bitcoin blockchain is a perfect timestamping system. It's difficult to take your stuff to a notary, if you will. The notary system in the United States is all federally run.
So you walk into a bank saying, hey, can you notarize my cannabis science? They'll be like, get out of here. This is federally legal. So how do you do that? How do you put it on the Bitcoin blockchain? It's a very simple thing. It sounds sophisticated. The whole sequence does not fit in a blockchain. Don't do that. No one wants that blockchain bloat. All you have to do is take a hash of the file.
So SHA-256 is a hashing algorithm that basically takes a fingerprint of a large document and spits out a particular length fingerprint of information. And it is – it's collision proof in that if you were to change one letter in that document, your hash will completely change. You will not get overlapping hashes. They're long enough that they're unique numbers in space, if you will.
They're unique in the universe. So you can take that number – And put that into the op return in Bitcoin. Bitcoin has this little function where an op return can fit a hash. It's almost like a note section in a transaction. And you can stuff that with a hash of the sequence information that you have for a given plant. So we were using that function.
We've been doing that since 2011 where we've been sequencing people's plants and then – hashing and stashing them on blockchain so that people have a record of when these things were made.
And that's helped out in that field because in the cannabis field, it's easy to clone stuff and people take people's genetics and there's a big argument over who owns them and a lot of people don't want to interface with the patent office.
So we've been involved in cases where clones were stolen from one grow to another and they came to us, we sequenced them and showed them that this is identical to something this guy grew over here and we know it and you stole it and the courts have ruled and in favor of that.
Yes. Yeah. So it does work. They do acknowledge that fingerprints work. And so I got involved in the COVID sort of dissonance side of things because when I saw how they were using PCR and COVID, I realized it was a fraud. Like we run PCR on cannabis plants all day long. This is our bread and butter. We make tests that look for pathogens on cannabis.
Yeah. And PCR is actually a really good test. They destroyed the reputation of PCR and COVID.
Yeah.
He was a surfer. Sadly died right before the pandemic.
Yes. I think anyone who gets their nose into the space will come to the same conclusion as him. Unfortunately, if you're in the public, he's elevated as some almost Jesus-level saint. But if you see what he actually does behind the scenes, he is the exact opposite of that. So the pandemic comes along. They're abusing these PCR tools. And I make note of this. I write a paper about it.
And, of course, it gets attacked. It goes to the typical censorship and ridicule that you expect. And shortly after that, I think that caught the attention of Peter McCullough. He asked me to help write him a paper about the differences between the vaccines and the virus, which I went through all the molecular biology and how those two things differ.
After that happened, people start randomly sending me vials of vaccines to our address or company.
Well, I could tell that since the PCR was a fraud, that when I saw what they were going to do with the vaccine, I'm like, this has not been tested. I know how that sausage is made. The vaccine. Yeah. My history of building DNA sequencers meant I had a deep respect for when you start changing nucleotide chemistry on RNA molecules, you have no idea what you're doing.
And that's what they did in the vaccine is they changed every single uracil out with pseudouridine. That completely changes the function of that RNA. And these guys just said, oh, we're just going to change all of them and then inject it and see what happens. And, you know, you change that one methyl group. In the course of trying to build DNA sequencers, and your own sequencer will fall apart.
I mean, the enzymes are that sensitive to a single methyl group being placed on some of these pieces of DNA. You put 800 of them on the RNA that you're doing, you are in completely unknown territory with how that RNA is going to fold, how it's going to be processed in the cell, the RNA interference pathways that's going to kick off.
