From a compliance standpoint, the legal cannabis industry is a two-way street. On one side you have cannabis consumers who have an obligation to adhere to common sense compliance requirements and be good stewards of the freedoms that cannabis activists fought so hard for over many years to get in place.
On the other side, you have cannabis companies that also have an obligation to remain in compliance with laws, rules, and regulations. It only takes one cannabis company operating ‘out of bounds’ to sully the reputation of the entire industry, at least to some degree. Laws, rules, and regulations are in place for good reason in the legal cannabis industry – to mitigate public health issues (among other things).
One of the most vital components of an effective compliance strategy is seed-to-sale tracking software. For those that are not familiar with the concept, seed-to-sale tracking software is essentially exactly what it sounds like – it tracks cannabis from start to finish. A cannabis seed or clone is assigned a number and tracked throughout its life and the cannabis that the plant yields (and the products that are derived from it) is then tracked through the point of sale.
In the majority of states in the United States where the cannabis industry legally operates the use of seed-to-sale tracking software is required. It’s a requirement that will no doubt become a standard feature of the legal cannabis industry everywhere that it exists in the future.
