BioTrack in Connecticut 101

BioTrack is the official statewide track-and-trace system for Connecticut's medical and recreational cannabis programs. In 2021, the governing body responsible for regulating both medical and adult-use cannabis, the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection (DCP), awarded BioTrack the state contract.

In 2012, Connecticut passed HB 5389, also known as An Act Concerning the Palliative Use of Marijuana. This legislation granted registered patients legal immunity from arrest for using or possessing up to a one-month supply of medical cannabis as prescribed by law. Additionally, HB 5389 permitted patients to appoint caregivers to aid them in their medical treatment.

Connecticut legalized adult-use cannabis on July 1, 2021, when Governor Ned Lamont signed into law Senate Bill 1201. The law allows adults 21 and over to possess and consume cannabis recreationally, making Connecticut the 19th in the nation to legalize cannabis fully. 

The DCP oversees the cannabis industry in the Connecticut, including:

  • Cultivation
  • Micro-cultivation
  • Producer
  • Product Manufacturing
  • Food and Beverage Manufacturing
  • Product Packaging
  • Retailer
  • Hybrid Retailer
  • Dispensary Facility
  • Delivery Service

Approved Connecticut cannabis license holders must implement and stay compliant with BioTrack.
