On September 18, 2020, the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA) officially partnered with Metrc, becoming the 14th state, along with the District of Columbia, to utilize the seed-to-sale track-and-trace regulatory cannabis system. With more than 10,000 active business licenses in the state, the Metrc system will assist OMMA with its regulatory and compliance efforts in the budding medical cannabis industry in Oklahoma.
The deadline for licensees to comply with the Metrc system is April 30, 2021. In order to facilitate this rollout, OMMA and Metrc are offering free daily training and credentialing sessions from March 1 until March 26. Attendance at a training session is mandatory for licensees to become credentialed and gain access to the Metrc system.
A licensee’s Metrc system must be handled by an administrator within the licensed facility, which can either be an owner or a designated manager. Each administrator is obligated to take the new business training course. In addition to the facility’s administrator, it should be common practice for all employees that contribute to the facility’s Metrc system to complete the training course. Such training creates a safeguard by ensuring that relevant employees properly utilize the system. The initial training sessions cover general Metrc system use, and advanced training courses focused on specific license types will be available at a later date.
