Guam legalized the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes in 2015 after a ballot referendum passed with 56 percent of the vote. It was the first United States Territory to do so. Guam’s Department of Public Health and Social Services (DPHSS) contracted with Metrc in November 2021 to help in the responsible regulation of the island’s medicinal cannabis market.
The Legislature of Guam passed the Cannabis Industry Act in March 2019, legalizing recreational cannabis for adults aged 21 and over. The act declassified marijuana as a Schedule 1 controlled substance and created the Cannabis Control Board to regulate adult-use cannabis for public health, welfare, safety, and taxation purposes.

The state set up the Cannabis Control Commission in 2017. Metrc was contracted the following year, charged with helping the state regulate the cultivation, tracking, transport, testing, and sale of medical and adult-use cannabis and to assist in the creation of what Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker called the “safe, reliable, legal market.”

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Partnership Start: November 2018
The Cannabis Control Commission set to work to establish the parameters of the medical and adult-use markets, creating inventory quotas, an economic empowerment program, licensing guidelines, fee structures, and more. Sales of recreational cannabis are subject to a 10.75 percent excise tax, plus the state’s normal 6.25 percent sales tax, and an optional local excise tax of up to three percent. Metrc’s system tracks cannabis-related products through the point of sale, helping the state reconcile tax obligations. Purchasers pay no taxes on medical marijuana. In 2021, Metrc worked with the CCC to establish the state’s first-ever product catalog, listing all the flower, pre-rolls, tinctures, beverages, and edibles sold legally in Massachusetts. The catalog provides valuable assistance to police, parents and regulators identifying licensed products versus those sold on the illicit market.

Cannabis laws in the District of Columbia express the tension between the federal and local governments and their overlapping jurisdictions over residents. Although marijuana is legal under District law, the possession, use, and sale of marijuana remains illegal under federal law. Cannabis legalization on the District side evolved in response to a series of voter-backed initiatives, including Initiative 59, adopted in 1998, seeking the legalization of medical cannabis. Its implementation was blocked by Congressional passage of the Barr Amendment. In 2013, the first purchase of medical marijuana was made from a licensed dispensary in the District. In 2014, voters extended legalization to adult use.


THE DISTRICT WELCOMES YOU
Medical cannabis in the District of Columbia, legalized by the passage of the Legalization of Marijuana for Medical Treatment Amendment Act of 2010, allows DC residents, including minors, to be prescribed, purchase, possess, and use cannabis to treat a diagnosed qualifying medical condition or related side effect.
The District’s reciprocity rules allow non-DC residents enrolled in another jurisdiction’s active medical cannabis program to purchase medical cannabis at a DC-licensed dispensary.
Administration of the District’s medical cannabis program is led by the Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration (ABRA). Metrc is the District’s selected track-and-trace system

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Partnership Start: December 2014
Initiative 71 took effect in 2015, allowing District residents over the age of 21 to grow and possess small amounts of cannabis and “gift” up to one ounce of marijuana to another person. With oversight of District affairs exercised by the United States Congress, the District government is not empowered to legalize the sale of cannabis in what would be a violation of federal statute. The “gifting” provision in the law, however, has allowed dispensaries to proliferate. Metrc helps District regulators ensure the supply of cannabis in D.C. is monitored, traceable, tested, and secure by tracking the cultivation, processing, testing results, and manufacture of cannabis-based products. Unique to the District, instead of recording the “sale” of these products, Metrc’s system records the item, good, or service and the cannabis or cannabis-based product “gifted” by the vendor in the exchange.
