This transaction marks several firsts. ▲ R I S E and BURN are the first cannabis strains of their kind memorialized forever on the blockchain. This is also the first time GGG released seeds for only one exclusive owner. "This is the future, and we are positioning ourselves to take full advantage of the unique value of the strain and the artwork," says GGG Partner, Michael Fong.
