What is Metrc?
Metrc is the regulatory cannabis system that’s trusted in more states than any other. Currently operating in 14 states, this system provides transparency in the supply chain by tracking and recording events, in real time. With the use of Radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags, data can automatically be recorded and stored. This data is then instantly uploaded into Metrc’s system to be reported to the appropriate regulatory authorities.
Once data is uploaded into Metrc, it cannot be changed. Because Metrc is the single point of truth, all information entered into the system needs to be 100% accurate. Errors or inaccuracies reported in the system can result in hefty fines and penalties. In order to prevent this, it’s important to ensure all employees in your facility are properly trained to use Metrc.
