What is the consequence of failing to renew a cannabis license before its expiration date in most METRC states?
Answer: The license lapses and operations must stop until renewal is granted
An expired license means the business is no longer legally authorized to operate, and METRC access is typically deactivated until renewal is approved.
A retail dispensary wants to add a delivery service to its operations. In METRC, this typically requires:
Answer: Adding a delivery endorsement or separate license as required by the state
Most states require a delivery endorsement or separate license, which must be reflected in METRC before delivery operations begin.
Which best describes a 'license tier' in the context of cannabis cultivation licensing?
Answer: A classification based on canopy size that determines allowable plant counts and fees
Cultivation license tiers are typically based on canopy square footage and determine how many plants a cultivator may track in METRC.
An employee at a licensed dispensary wants to access METRC. What is required?
Answer: The employee must be listed as an authorized user under the facility's METRC account
Each authorized employee must be set up as a user under the facility's METRC account to maintain individual accountability and audit trails.
A cannabis manufacturer holds licenses in two different states. How are their METRC accounts structured?
Answer: Separate METRC accounts are maintained for each state, as each state runs its own system
METRC is administered at the state level, so each state where a business is licensed maintains a separate METRC instance and account.
Which action best demonstrates that a licensee is maintaining their license in 'good standing' within METRC?
Answer: Keeping all inventory reconciled, transfers recorded timely, and no unresolved compliance flags
Good standing requires accurate, timely inventory tracking, prompt reporting of transfers, and no outstanding compliance violations in METRC.
A licensed cannabis retailer wants to relocate to a new address. What is the required METRC process?
Answer: Obtain state approval for the new premises first; METRC will reflect the approved new location
Premises changes require state regulatory approval before the new address can be used in METRC, since the license is tied to a specific approved location.
