I don't get it

Can someone explain this to me?
New weapon launched in drug war
It's all about the creation of a database of DNA profiles of cannabis plants that will be "ready for police operations in just over a year."
As science, it's interesting, but as a "weapon" for police, i really don't understand it. What actual possible use would this database be in getting convictions?
Say that marijuana seized in a bust matches the DNA of other cannabis seized somewhere. What does that prove (that's actionable) that the seizure itself wouldn't already prove?

There's a war going on. It destroys lives and families, spawns violence, suspends civil liberties, tramples on the infirm, locks up millions of peaceful citizens, costs billions, and subjugates reason with fear. This blog looks at the front lines of the drug war, with news, analysis, and the occasional rant.

Steal what you want. Give me a link.
