A licensee discovers that a batch of cannabis trim has developed mold and must be destroyed. Which METRC action should be taken FIRST?

Accepted Answer

Create a waste entry in METRC before disposal begins

Answer

A waste entry must be created in METRC prior to disposal so that regulators can verify and witness the destruction.

Question 3

When cannabis waste is mixed with non-cannabis waste to render it unusable, what must a METRC licensee record about the non-cannabis material?

Accepted Answer

The type and approximate volume or weight of the adulterant used

Answer

Which scenario represents an INCORRECT waste management practice under METRC compliance rules?

Accepted Answer

Recording waste weight in METRC after the waste has already been disposed of
