Benefits to Government

Government partnership

Cannabis legalization immediately tasks governments with a host of challenging demands, including protecting public health, establishing new testing and tracking protocols, and securing the regulated market against illicit product. Metrc is a powerful ally in advancing all of these interests.

Metrc works closely with government agencies to reflect the particular needs of each jurisdiction’s regulatory landscape. When market conditions require policy adjustments or are impacted by legislative or executive directives, Metrc brings the system into alignment without costly change fees or system-wide shutdowns. In a new industry, this kind of flexibility is invaluable.

Our responsiveness as a state government partner has been a hallmark of Metrc’s success. In 2019, the Colorado Office of the State Auditor called Metrc the “cornerstone of the state’s regulatory structure for medical and retail marijuana.”
