Metrc, a provider of cannabis regulatory systems in the U.S., has entered into a contract with the state of Minnesota to support the regulation of medical cannabis, the company's 19th government contract to date nationwide.
Metrc will implement its robust track-and-trace platform to help facilitate the Minnesota Medical Cannabis Program's data collection and regulatory oversight. The company's system offers a unique RFID tag model, where each individual plant and product is traceable through a patented radio-frequency identification tag, allowing for seamless data tracking for each plant, optimizing inventory control and cultivation management. This inventory management system helps ensure regulatory compliance, assists with the accurate reporting of sales data, combats the illicit market and provides much needed advances in consumer and product safety.
