Metrc in Maine 101
Since 2020, Maine has used Metrc as its statewide track-and-trace system. The Maine Office of Cannabis Policy (OCP) signed a six-year contract with Metrc after a brief period with Biotrack.
In 1999, Maine voted on and legalized the use of medical cannabis. In 2016, the state voted on the recreational use, retail sale, and taxation of cannabis.
After two legislative revisions of the Marijuana Legalization Act (MLA) and two gubernatorial vetoes, LD 1719 "An Act To Implement a Regulatory Structure for Adult Use Marijuana" was enacted into law on May 2, 2018, fully legalizing cannabis. The Maine OCP was established in 2019 to oversee the statewide cannabis program and its license types for:
- Cultivator
- Processor/Manufacturer
- Distributor
- State testing laboratory
- Retail Dispensary
If your business plans to engage in multiple activities, you may require more than one license. Approved Maine cannabis license holders must implement and stay compliant with Metrc.
