Which METRC record is required to demonstrate that a lab-tested package failed testing and was remediated?
Answer: A remediation package record linking the failed package to the remediated output
A remediation package record in METRC documents the failed package as the source and tracks the remediated output, maintaining a complete chain of custody through the remediation process.
In METRC record keeping, what does 'external transfer' refer to?
Answer: A transfer that crosses state lines to another legal cannabis market
An external transfer refers to the movement of cannabis across state lines into another state's licensed cannabis market, which requires specific documentation and compliance with both states' regulations.
What is required in METRC when a licensee discovers that a package tag has been lost or damaged?
Answer: Report the lost/damaged tag to the state authority and request a replacement, documenting the incident
Lost or damaged package tags must be reported to the state regulatory authority, and a replacement tag must be obtained and documented to maintain continuous tracking.
How does METRC handle the record keeping for cannabis that is returned by a retail customer?
Answer: Most states prohibit cannabis returns; if allowed, the return must be documented and the package adjusted or destroyed
Most state regulations prohibit cannabis returns to inventory; if a return policy exists, it must be fully documented in METRC, typically resulting in product destruction with proper records.
What is the purpose of the 'strain name' field in METRC plant and package records?
Answer: It provides traceability of genetics from cultivation through final sale for regulatory and consumer transparency
Recording strain names in METRC enables regulators and consumers to trace the genetic lineage of cannabis products from cultivation through the retail sale.
A METRC licensee wants to split one large package into several smaller packages for retail sale. What records must be created?
Answer: New package records must be created referencing the source package, and the source package quantity must be reduced accordingly
When splitting packages, new METRC package records must be created that reference the source package, and the source package weight must be updated to reflect what was used.
Under METRC regulations, which of the following would trigger an automatic compliance flag or alert?
Answer: Creating a new package with a weight higher than the remaining source package weight
METRC prevents or flags attempts to create a package with more weight than the source package contains, as this would represent an unaccounted increase in cannabis inventory.
