First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A device, comprising: a device body; an accelerometer coupled to the body to detect acceleration; a camera to capture an image; a wireless transceiver; and a processor coupled to the transceiver and the accelerometer; and a module to manage a chain of custody for a drug with an ingredient from a plant, where one or more images are taken of plant growth and immutably supplemented with data including plant location, temperature, humidity, and soil condition and wherein an identity of a person associated with the image is added as a metadata. 2. The device of claim 1 , comprising a blockchain accessed by the processor to store data for the device. 3. The device of claim 1 , comprising a module to compare a professional activity with a user activity to improve plant growth. 4. The device of claim 1 , comprising a module to manage a chain of custody for cannabinoid. 5. The device of claim 1 , comprising a positioning module for position tagging of one or more plants. 6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the image is stored off or on a blockchain. 7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the image is immutable and unmodifiable. 8. The device of claim 1 , wherein the image is coupled to a blockchain. 9. The device of claim 1 , wherein the image includes embedded information including a signature of a person taking the image. 10. The device of claim 1 , wherein the image includes embedded information including a positioning system coordinate and a temperature. 11. The device of claim 1 , wherein the image includes embedded information not visible to an eye. 12. The device of claim 1 , comprising a module to manage a chain of custody for an object. 13. The device of claim 1 , comprising a module to manage a chain of custody for identity. 14. The device of claim 1 , comprising one or more identification tags coupled to a surface of the one or more cannabis plants. 15. The device of claim 1 , comprising a module to identify a custodian location from one or more of: a seed grower facility, a plant harvester facility, a processing facility, a distribution facility, a retail facility. 16. The device of claim 1 , comprising a reader to perform one of: photonic, magnetic, x-ray, radio frequency, chemical, microcode, florescence, genetic, electronic analysis, spectroscopy analysis. 17. The device of claim 1 , comprising one or more identification tags are mixed or dispersed within a plant or an extracted cannabinoid. 18. The device of claim 1 , comprising photographically tagged plants, chemically tagged plants, photographically tagged cannabis plants, chemically tagged cannabis plants, cannabis plants, matured cannabis plants, cannabis plant cuttings. 19. The device of claim 1 , comprising cannabis extraction machine to receive blockchain data on the cannabis. 20. The device of claim 1 , wherein the drug comprises a cannabinoid.
