As we wind down the year and get ready for 2020, let’s recap the MJBizCon show in Vegas just less than two weeks ago. Our team was able to spend valuable time with clients, partners, competitors, prospects, and consultants. Now that many of us have a few years under our belt in this industry it’s always great to see familiar faces and continue to build new relationships. 

As our team had a chance to take a breath and debrief, here are the top takeaways from the Flourish team as we get ready to enter 2020! 

Attention California, Michigan and Massachusetts cannabis licensees. You’ve been hearing “Track and Trace, Seed to Sale Traceability”...Whatever you want to call it - are you ready for it? 

Attention California, Michigan and Massachusetts cannabis licensees.  Worried about getting your operation ready to be fully live and operational with METRC?  Flourish can help. We are a certified integration vendor with METRC in the following states:

Cannabis businesses are facing a growing challenge: Compliance. So far, 9 U.S. states have legalized recreational marijuana and 29 U.S. states have legalized medical marijuana. As the cannabis industry continues to grow and mature, however, states are ratcheting up their oversight and expectations, and there is an increasing need for consistency in regard to the quality of the product and the operations that surround it. 

In January of 2018 the State of California announced they would be issuing annual licenses within 180 days and within that time the state track and trace system for cannabis, METRC, would be operational. With METRC integration imminent, now is the time to think about how to track plant movement and inventory levels to start reporting the required data back to the state.  The first step you should take is to find a business partner whose software platform will provide value for your business and also assist in helping you make this transition.
