New York BioTrack Guide

All adult use licensees will be required to have a third-party seed-to-sale/POS system in place that can directly interface with the New York State BioTrack STS solution.

BioTrack is one of the leading providers of state-mandated regulatory and compliance seed-to-sale technology used to trace and trace cannabis throughout the supply chain.

BioTrack in New York 101

Biotrack is New York's official statewide track-and-trace system. This implementation of BioTrack will only function as a state reporting tool with an Application Programming Interface (API) to submit data and generate universally unique barcodes (UUIDs).  There is no direct login to the BioTrack State Traceability System (BioTrack STS). This means that all licensed operators in New York must procure third-party software solutions, such as Flourish, to administer and submit data to BioTrack.  The New York Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) provides program oversight.

The New York Compassionate Care Act, passed in 2016, legalized medical marijuana, allowing patients and approved caregivers to engage in activities such as owning, consuming, producing, distributing, transporting, and administering medicinal marijuana.

Adult-use cannabis was legalized in March 2021 through the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act (MRTA), allowing individuals 21 and older to possess and buy marijuana within specified limits. The MRTA, established the OCM for regulatory purposes.

Flourish highlights our seamless integration with Biotrack nationally and New-York-specific capabilities.
