Read the first 7 Regulatory Compliance flashcards as text

  1. A METRC licensee's API integration stops syncing due to a software failure. What is the licensee's compliance obligation?

    Answer: Manually enter all required data into METRC to maintain compliance during the outage

    API outages do not suspend compliance obligations; licensees must manually enter METRC data to remain compliant during any technical failure.

  2. Under METRC regulations, who is ultimately responsible for ensuring that all tracking entries are accurate and timely?

    Answer: The licensed cannabis business and its responsible party

    The licensed cannabis business and its designated responsible party bear full legal responsibility for the accuracy and timeliness of all METRC entries.

  3. What is the purpose of the 'Hold' status that can be applied to a METRC package?

    Answer: To flag a package that cannot be transferred or sold pending investigation or testing results

    A 'Hold' status prevents a package from being transferred or sold until a regulatory or quality issue — such as a failed lab test — is resolved.

  4. In states using METRC, third-party point-of-sale (POS) systems must interact with METRC through which technical mechanism?

    Answer: The METRC Application Programming Interface (API)

    Licensed third-party POS and seed-to-sale software integrates with METRC exclusively through the official METRC API.

  5. A cultivation licensee harvests plants but the wet weight recorded in METRC differs significantly from the dry weight after curing. What must the licensee do?

    Answer: Record the dry weight as a package adjustment once curing is complete

    After curing, the licensee must update METRC to reflect the actual dry weight, which is typically recorded as a package adjustment or new harvest package entry.

  6. Which of the following scenarios would trigger a mandatory state notification under METRC compliance rules?

    Answer: Discovery of a significant inventory variance that suggests possible diversion

    A significant inventory variance indicating possible diversion is a reportable event that must be disclosed to the state authority per METRC compliance requirements.

  7. A licensed dispensary employee scans a package tag that returns a 'Package Not Found' error in METRC. What should the employee do first?

    Answer: Refuse to accept or sell the package and escalate to compliance staff

    A 'Package Not Found' error means the package has no valid METRC record, so the employee must refuse the transaction and escalate to compliance personnel for investigation.
