圣艾伯特（St. Albert）商店的一部分试点项目，以向客户介绍大麻

2月14日，植物生物大麻，象征性的自然，梅尔克和艾伯塔省游戏，酒和大麻开始了一个试点项目，以查看QR码是否可以为客户提供

Two St. Albert stores are part of a provincial pilot that aims to help customers learn more about cannabis.

两家圣阿尔伯特商店是一家省级飞行员的一部分，旨在帮助客户更多地了解大麻。

The pilot, which kicked off Feb. 14, will see QR codes used to give customers quick access to scientific information on cannabis products.

2月14日开始的飞行员将看到QR码，以使客户快速访问有关大麻产品的科学信息。

The pilot is being led by Metrc, a U.S. company that specializes in QR codes, and the Alberta Gaming, Liquor, and Cannabis (AGLC).

该飞行员是由专门从事QR代码的美国公司Metrc以及Alberta Gaming，Liquor和Cannabis（AGLC）领导的。

Also involved in the pilot are Plantlife Cannabis, Alberta’s largest privately owned and operated cannabis dispensary, and Token Naturals, a cannabis producer based in Edmonton.

艾伯塔省最大的私人拥有和经营的大麻药房和遗产天然大麻是植物生物大麻，以及位于埃德蒙顿的大麻生产商Token Naturals。

The idea for the pilot came about when Metrc approached the AGLC about using QR codes to get more information to the public about cannabis, Pascal said. The AGLC authorized the test, and Metrc, Plantlife Cannabis, and Token Naturals paid for it.

Pascal说，当METRC与AGLC接触AGLC时，飞行员的想法是关于使用QR码向公众获得有关大麻的更多信息的想法。 AGLC授权该测试，Metrc，Plantife Cannabis和Token Naturals为此付出了代价。

Health Canada puts strict limits on the design and contents of packaging for cannabis products to ensure they don’t appeal to youths, said David Urbanowicz, vice-president of external affairs for Metrc.

METRC外交副总裁David Urbanowicz说，加拿大卫生部严格限制了大麻产品的设计和包装内容，以确保它们不吸引年轻人。

“One of the unintended side effects of that is there’s not a whole lot of information on those products,” he said, which makes it tough for companies to distinguish themselves in the market.

他说：“这种意外的副作用之一是，这些产品没有很多信息。”这使得公司很难在市场上区分自己。

Just like wine drinkers want to know minute details about the history of their drinks, cannabis users often want to know the heritage and chemical contents of what they’re consuming (as different cannabinoids produce different effects), Urbanowicz and Pascal explained. Cannabis producers have this information but can’t put it on their packaging due to Health Canada’s rules and a lack of space; all they can usually list is the CBD and THC contents.

就像葡萄酒饮酒者想了解有关其饮料历史的细微细节一样，大麻使用者通常想知道他们所消耗的东西的遗产和化学含量（因为不同的大麻素会产生不同的影响），Urbanowicz和Pascal解释了。大麻生产商拥有此信息，但由于加拿大卫生的规定和缺乏空间，无法将其放在包装上。他们通常可以列出的只是CBD和THC内容。

This pilot will let customers scan a QR code on a cannabis product to pull up information on its chemical contents, certifications, and more.

该飞行员将让客户在大麻产品上扫描QR码，以提取有关其化学内容，认证等的信息。

“It’s really just unlocking information for the consumer,” Urbanowicz said.

Urbanowicz说：“这实际上只是为消费者解锁信息。”

Pascal said this pilot will see Plantlife Cannabis distribute cannabis-infused raspberry chocolate edibles made by his company that have Metrc’s QR codes printed on their packaging.

帕斯卡（Pascal）说，这位飞行员将看到植物生物大麻分发由他的公司制造的注入大麻的覆盆子巧克力食品，这些巧克力食品的包装上印有Metrc的QR码。

Since Health Canada objected to having the codes printed directly on packaging (after said codes had already been printed), Plantlife Cannabis staffers have covered the codes with stickers and will instead give customers cards with the code on them when they buy the edibles.

由于加拿大卫生部反对将代码直接印刷在包装上（已上述代码已经打印出来），因此植物学大麻工作人员已经用贴纸覆盖了代码，而是在购买食品时给客户带来的代码。

Urbanowicz said this first phase of the pilot should wrap up in March.

Urbanowicz表示，飞行员的第一阶段应该在三月结束。

Pascal said he hopes this pilot will prove to Health Canada that these codes could be safely used and show customers that their products were safe and tested. He plans to roll out the codes to more of his products later this year.

帕斯卡（Pascal）表示，他希望这位飞行员能够向加拿大卫生部证明这些代码可以安全地使用，并向客户表明他们的产品安全且经过测试。他计划今年晚些时候将代码推出更多他的产品。

In a media statement, Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction Minister Dale Nally said this project showed how Alberta is using technology to increase consumer confidence, reduce inefficiencies, and keep Albertans safe.

在一份媒体声明中，艾伯塔省和繁文tape录制部长戴尔·纳利（Dale Nally）表示，该项目表明了艾伯塔省如何利用技术来增加消费者的信心，减少效率低下并确保艾伯塔省的安全。
