working to discover pathways to preserve, authenticate, and validate the cannabis culture through collaborative design.

This project is continuously evolving. We are an incubator of talent working towards creating solutions in an unstable landscape. We are all learning together. Your participation and feedback is welcomed.

The Humboldt Legacy Project was formed as an incubator to seek out creative, collaborative solutions. In early 2021, the group started holding open, weekly online meetings—bringing together industry experts on cannabis genetics; cannabinoids; cannabis cultivation; DNA sequencing; blockchain technologies; cannabis compliance, and law. The group’s goal was to discover pathways forward that preserve and value the genetic diversity, and experience, of the legacy cultivation communities, starting with the seed

The group operates under a set of mutually agreed on value statements to guide the development of the work:

We create with integrity.
We empower innovative solutions.
We value quality over quantity.
We support regenerative practices.
We act in service.
We are conscious.
We are cooperative.
We are collaborative.

There is a crisis in the cannabis community today. Small craft farmers and legacy operators are being pushed out of business by over-regulation, over-taxation and industrial overproduction, as well as a lack of commercial business support services and infrastructure.

We have been using two Skunk #1’s selected from a small batch, donated by Marty Yip and HENDRX Farms, as test subjects to find pathways to archive, authenticate, and value cannabis cultivars.

Genetic protection is a wonderful idea in concept but it faces challenges from an industry that historically could not be open about their work, and where genetic fraud and IP theft are rampant.

It is critical that trust is carefully cultivated between the breeders, the technology, and the community.

Our working group has been meeting weekly on Zoom, and we host in-person open meetings to facilitate active community engagement and project development.

We partnered with The Grow Off to distribute 40 clones of HLPS3 to cultivators through out the state of CA.

We partnered with MOCA Humboldt to gain data on the HLPS1. Which each purchase of the HLPS1 there is a QR code to a consumer survey.

The Skunks have been preserved at HENDRX Farms and timestamped at www.canopyright.com.
