Tapping the booming medical marijuana market

Thin Film Electronics (Thinfilm) has announced an agreement with California’s leading medical marijuana supplier, Caliva, to incorporate Thinfilm NFC solutions into its packaging. Caliva sells a wide range of products including 21 different strains of cannabis with different potencies and cultivation practices, as well as a range of over 130 cannabis-containing foods and ancillary equipment. Caliva is looking to enhance the shopper experience and provide more consistency, transparency and accessibility towards the cannabis space, as well as boosting marketing via offers and events. In 2016, California became the fifth US state to legalise recreational use of marijuana. Public sales of cannabis from stores are expected to start in 2018, which should lead to a further substantial increase in Caliva’s sales.
