The state of Illinois has emerged as a leader in cannabis reform, becoming the first U.S. state to legalize recreational marijuana through legislative action rather than a ballot initiative. The Illinois Cannabis Regulation and Tax Act, passed in 2019, allows adults aged 21 and over to legally purchase and possess cannabis beginning January 1, 2020. This legislation not only legalized recreational use but also incorporated comprehensive social equity measures.
Welcome to the Illinois Metrc page! All licensed cannabis businesses in Illinois are required to use the state’s seed-to-sale tracking system to monitor cannabis products throughout the entire supply chain—from cultivation and manufacturing to transport, testing, and retail sales. This portal provides essential links, resources, and updates for Illinois licensees. The information offered here is intended to supplement the training and materials found within the core Metrc application and its training platform, Metrc Learn. We’re excited to support you in fostering a safe, equitable, and efficiently regulated cannabis market.
Illinois’ cannabis program is managed by multiple agencies, including the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) for dispensaries and the Illinois Department of Agriculture (IDOA) for cultivation, processing, and transportation. Licensing categories include dispensaries, craft growers, infusers, transporters, and large-scale cultivation centers, with a social equity program prioritizing individuals affected by past cannabis laws.

We will onboard licensees into Metrc, the new seed-to-sale state-mandated system, in phases. First, Testing Labs and Transporters will access the system on April 1st to ensure product movement through the supply chain. We will contact these licensee types for training and onboarding.
For the second phase, we will hold in-person roadshows from April 21-24 (for all license types), followed by opening credentialing on April 25th, allowing all licensees to access the system. Cultivation centers, Craft Growers, and Infusers should get credentialed as soon as possible after this date, followed by Dispensaries (recommended to move over in May).
For more information, always check the following websites.
Here you can find a full transition plan with what each licensee is expected to do in the first 30-45 days of accessing Metrc.
The transition will follow a phased approach, with virtual and in-person training opportunities available before each license type needs to be credentialed and access the Metrc system.
April 1: Transporters and Testing Laboratories can begin the credentialing process and access the Metrc system, with onboarding continuing in the following weeks.
Illinois New Business Training is now available: Access here.
April 25: All other license types can begin the credentialing process and access the Metrc system.
May 1: Recommended start date for Dispensaries to begin the credentialing process and gain access to the Metrc system.
Product with existing testing results should not be moved over into Metrc. You should sell through your inventory in BioTrack.
Metrc plant and package tags will be available to order starting April 28th. You will not be responsible for printing your own tags.
Cultivation Centers, Craft Growers, and Infusers should start ordering tags as soon as possible upon gaining access to the Metrc system and setting up your business.
Upon receiving those tags, your business should then start tagging plants (plant tags) and inventory (package tags) that does not have a test result in BioTrack.
No. Costs for RFID plant and package tracking will largely be covered by the State. Metrc will provide the tags once ordered through the system. Details of the tag ordering process will be communicated to each licensee over the next few weeks.
Yes, Metrc will host three in-person introductory and training sessions April 21-24, 2025. In-person events will be held in three regions of Illinois, including Springfield, Chicago, and Mt. Vernon/Carbondale, to provide introductory content on Metrc and its system. These events will also cover details about the transition plan to ensure a smooth implementation.

You can now, on a voluntary basis, have your industrial hemp tested at a state licensed testing facility for THC potency. The following questions and answers are provided to help you understand the Metrc system and how testing works.
What service does Metrc provide?
Metrc will facilitate the electronic transfer of information between you and the testing facility. Radio frequency identification tags (“RFID tags”) are used to track your sample. Test results are provided to you electronically through the Metrc system.
What are the costs associated with Metrc?
The cost of using Metrc is $250.00 annually, plus the cost of RFID tags (.25 cents per tag and shipping costs). The $250.00 fee permits you to use the Metrc system an unlimited number of times during the annual period. It also gives you unlimited access to the Metrc Support Line for questions and assistance. Please note that this annual fee does not include the fees charged by the testing facility for testing your industrial hemp. You will need to contact the testing facility directly to find out about testing fees.
How do I get started with Metrc?
First, identify who will serve as your “administrator” and complete the training. Make sure your administrator has your Colorado Industrial Hemp registration number available. Click on “Training Sign Up” to begin the training process.
Which facilities do the testing? Will the Colorado Department of Agriculture (“CDA”) use the test results?
Testing is performed by state licensed testing facilities that utilize the Metrc system. This voluntary testing is distinct and unrelated to any testing performed by the CDA. Because the test sample is not collected by the CDA and it does not oversee the testing, test results are for your information purposes and will not be used by the CDA for compliance purposes. Moreover, the CDA is not able to provide specific information about the processes and procedures used by any of the state licensed testing facilities. Metrc suggests that you communicate with the testing facility of your choice prior to dropping off a sample. Questions you may want to ask the facility include: Is there a weight limit per sample? Will the facility dry the sample or must it be dried before drop off?
Does CDA have a role in the voluntary testing?
CDA’s role has been solely to coordinate this system for voluntary testing of industrial hemp at state licensed facilities. The CDA does not have oversight over either Metrc or the state licensed testing facilities.
Who do I ask if I have questions?
Contact Metrc directly to obtain answers about the electronic transfer process. Contact your chosen testing facility about any questions pertaining to testing.

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.

The Division of Cannabis Control licenses and regulates cannabis cultivators, processors, dispensaries, and testing laboratories. Additionally, the Division oversees the Medical Marijuana Control Program Patient & Caregiver Registry. The State Medical Board of Ohio is responsible for certifying physicians to recommend medical marijuana and approving qualifying conditions.
