Inventory Management (Metrc)

The Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) has contracted with Metrc to develop and administer a digital tracking infrastructure, which traces cannabis products starting from cultivation through processing, testing, distribution and sale.

Cannabis businesses in Minnesota will need to create a Metrc account and attach serialized tags to every plant and product. State regulations require that all product is followed from seed to sale, from the first stages of growth to eventual retail sale, for both medical and adult-use markets.

Licensed businesses must use the statewide monitoring system (including software, tagging, and labeling tools) and are responsible for all costs to purchase and use the system. A high-speed internet connection is required to use Metrc.
