What is Metrc and why is it required in New York?

Metrc (Marijuana Enforcement Tracking Reporting Compliance) is New York's official seed-to-sale tracking system, managed by the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM). It monitors every cannabis plant and product from cultivation through sale to ensure transparency and prevent diversion to the illicit market. All licensed operators: cultivators, processors, distributors, and retailers, must report inventory and activities in Metrc by late 2025.

Metrc Tags
