Havertown information technology firm TreCom Systems Group will be on the cutting edge of the state’s growing medical marijuana industry.

As a subcontractor part of MJ Freeway’s $10.4 million contract for “tracking medical marijuana from seed to sale and creating a registry for patients, caregivers, and practitioners to participate in the program,” TreCom will literally watch the state’s cannabis be grown, harvested, processed, and distributed, according to a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette report by Sam Wood.

“This is an important step forward in ensuring that we can get medical marijuana to patients who desperately need it,” said Secretary of Health Karen Murphy.

The intense tracking system TreCom will undertake goes above and beyond anything else on the market to ensure patient safety and prevent theft or abuse.

“We want to make sure that it remains in the legal supply chain,” said MJ Freeway CEO Amy Poinsett. “Additionally, we want to keep black market product from being introduced into the supply chain.”
