About

Genetic
accountability for cannabis
protection and preservation.

True Cut exists because cannabis cultivar identity has relied too heavily on informal names. We connect Anna Schwabe's cannabis genetics research with a practical workflow for breeder documentation, provenance, and reviewable genetic evidence.

OUR PRINCIPLES

What we believe.

01

Protection starts with identity

Breeders need records that make genetics easier to document, compare, and defend. True Cut focuses on protection through clear evidence, not ownership claims.

02

Preservation needs records

Preservation is stronger when a cultivar has a documented genetic profile, sample history, and comparison context that can be reviewed as the library grows.

03

Transparency and accountability

Every public claim should be bounded by the data. True Cut keeps transparency, relationship, similarity, and dossier language precise so customers know what the evidence can and cannot say.
