Minnesota Metrc Compliance: What New Cannabis Operators Need to Know

Metrc is a cloud-based inventory management system that uses RFID tags and real-time reporting to track every plant and product throughout the supply chain. It's built to give regulators oversight, but for new operators, it can often be challenging to manage.

New cannabis licensees should begin preparing now to avoid delays. If you're anticipating preliminary license approval or already have it in Minnesota, here’s what you’ll need to do to stay Metrc compliant:

• Complete Metrc Training and Credentialing: This grants access to your account and enables your team to begin using the system.
• Order RFID Tags: Metrc will provide unique tags for every plant and product batch. You'll need to place your first order once you're credentialed.
• Log Every Action: You’re responsible for logging all movement or status change of cannabis materials—whether it's cloning, harvesting, testing, or transferring to another licensee.
• Manage Transfers Correctly: Transfers to other licensees (labs, retailers, distributors) require Metrc-generated manifests.

This process is mandatory—but it doesn’t have to be complicated.
