Which entity is responsible for issuing METRC licenses in a given state?
Answer: The state cannabis regulatory authority
Each state's cannabis regulatory authority (e.g., MED in Colorado, BCC in California) issues licenses and mandates METRC use.
A licensee operating under a provisional license in METRC must:
Answer: Comply with all tracking requirements just like a full licensee
Provisional license holders must comply with the same METRC tracking requirements as permanent licensees.
When a cannabis business changes ownership, what must happen with the METRC license?
Answer: A new license application must be submitted and a new METRC account established
A change of ownership requires a new license application and a new METRC account since licenses are non-transferable.
Which of the following license types would NOT typically require METRC tracking?
Answer: A business that only sells cannabis-adjacent merchandise with no plant-touching activities
METRC tracking applies only to plant-touching cannabis businesses; ancillary businesses without cannabis inventory are not required to use METRC.
A METRC license number is best described as:
Answer: A state-issued credential that maps to a specific licensed cannabis facility in METRC
The METRC license number corresponds to the state-issued license and identifies the specific licensed facility within the system.
If a licensee's METRC account is suspended due to non-compliance, which action is most appropriate?
Answer: Immediately cease cannabis operations until the issue is resolved with the regulator
A suspended METRC account indicates a compliance violation, and operations must stop until the state regulatory authority resolves the matter.
Under most state METRC frameworks, a 'premises' on a license refers to:
Answer: The specific physical address approved for cannabis activities and tracked in METRC
A licensed premises is the specific, state-approved physical location where cannabis activities may occur and which is associated with the METRC account.
