A licensee discovers that a METRC entry was made with the wrong strain name on a package. What is the correct remediation?
Answer: Submit a correction through the METRC interface or contact the state authority for an administrative correction

Answer: Sending product to a licensed testing laboratory for required compliance testing
Lab Sample packages are specifically designated for cannabis sent to a licensed testing laboratory for regulatory compliance testing.
What does METRC's 'seed-to-sale' tracking model ensure from a regulatory compliance perspective?
Answer: Full chain-of-custody accountability from cultivation through retail sale
Seed-to-sale tracking ensures every cannabis unit is accounted for at each stage of the supply chain, preventing diversion to unregulated markets.
A retailer's METRC inventory shows 50 units but the physical count is 52. This overage is most likely caused by which compliance failure?

Physical inventory exceeding METRC records typically indicates a package was received without being entered into the system.
