This present invention broadly relates to a concept of collecting and trading specific forms of a cannabis substance including but not limited to a specific solid, liquid, cream, and/or an amorphous solid form of a cannabis substance, using a hand-held enclosure. By utilizing this hand-held enclosure for various strains, a connoisseur of medicinal or recreational herbs can now start to collect and trade those various strains and utilize the enclosure for gaming.
Medicinal and recreational herbs, since its legalization is certain states, has been widely used and contained in many ways. For example, smoking it, eating it, and using as a form of topical applicant for pain relief. In addition, forms of containment have been widely marketed for concealment, transport, and displaying. When considering other variations of containment that are suitable for collecting medicinal and recreational herbs, they do not provide a means for collecting numerous enclosures and/or trading numerous enclosures, nor do they provide containment which compresses and limits the movement of the specific forms of a cannabis substance, nor do they provide a gaming apparatus, which incorporates online gaming for connoisseurs to compete for an enclosure to build a collection.
A similar concept of this invention would be trading cards, for example sports related trading cards, that have a picture of an athlete along with biographical and statistical information about the athlete. These cards are used by sports enthusiasts to obtain cards that are needed to complete a set of related cards or to collect cards that are not readily available. Regarding the invention, collectors can buy, collect, and trade these hand-held enclosures for their economic and historic value. The enclosure themselves have varying monetary values, depending on the popularity of the individual strains thereon and the availability of each enclosure, some being more common than others, but controllable using this invention. Such enclosures are typically sold through marijuana dispensaries. This present invention has the capability to store information about the contents within the enclosure by means of a barcode that is placed on the enclosure so that any user can retrieve the information instantly. In addition, this information will enable the user to participate in a game, which when played between two opponents, it allows the user to obtain points to increase the user's status.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,623,010 of Warren L. Holland Jr. describes a method for forming a card deck from a larger number of cards. A player my potentially collect hundreds of collectible cards.

Additionally, means to tag the enclosure and validate the contents of the substance within, by means for automatic identification and/or data capture is taught, by means of Barcoding, QR Coding, an RFID chip, sticker or other means well known to those in the art of product ID tagging. This tag would provide the end user with an additional level of verification of that of which is proposed to be in that enclosure is what's within that enclosure, giving users of medicinal and recreational herbs a greater level of assurance that the product meets their expectation. In addition, this information will enable the user to participate in a game, which when played between two opponents, it allows the user to obtain points to increase their status. Also, based on a dispensaries demand or promotion for certain strains, the product is assigned a design feature to be uploaded in the database and showcase on the enclosure.
