Bio Detection K9 (BDK9), a Priority One Canine Company (P1K9) and the global leader in canine COVID-19 detection, along with Green Stripe Naturals (GSN), one of the first movers in the global medical cannabis industry in Jamaica, is proud to announce their new joint venture, Cannabis Bio Detection K9 (CBDK9).
The detection of mold is very human labor intensive, inefficient and unreliable, and due to overwhelming mold infestations in cannabis crops, hundreds of millions of dollars are lost each year. Cannabis Bio Detection K9 will be the first company ever to combat these infestations using early detection tactics through their proprietary canine testing and technology. This new venture will use dogs combined with drone technology and real time intelligence to help save the cannabis industry millions of dollars annually in lost crops at a global level.
“I’m thrilled to partner with Wayne and Green Stripe Naturals,” stated Wade Morrell, CEO of Bio Detection K9. “Wayne is constantly thinking outside the box. His drive to not only take GSN to new markets but to also keep an open mind in the research and development of the detection of mold in cannabis is second to none. This partnership is going to change the way the cannabis industry protects their product from mold and other diseases and mitigates substantial yearly losses.”
Jamaica is subject to many potential hazardous microclimate elements, like excessive heat and moisture, tropical storms, excessive rains and drastically varying day and night temperatures, all which could result in mold development and propagation. The Green Stripe Naturals facility in Jamaica is an ideal testing ground to prove the efficacy of the program and continue to develop more advanced versions of the technology as more mold propagation elements are identified. Cannabis Bio Detection K9 will utilize Bio Detection K9’s training and technology while GSN tests the efficacy of the technology at its licensed medical cannabis facility.
