Adilas is pleased to announce full API Connectivity with Washington DC’s Metrc System!
Washington DC has elected Metrc as their Cannabis Tracking System. Adilas makes connecting to Metrc easy with our powerful API integration tools.
METRC is a compliance management solution used by regulatory bodies for the oversight of the marijuana industry in each jurisdiction where Metrc is deployed. As a cloud hosted on-line software reporting system, Metrc is used by licensed marijuana businesses to manage and report supply chain activities as required by District rules.
The Metrc tracking system provides an important tool for Washington D.C.’s Division of Medical Marijuana and Integrative Therapy in fulfilling its responsibility to ensure that medical marijuana and its products are safely monitored from seed to sale throughout the District of Columbia.
Metrc is responsible for providing the technical and operational components of the marijuana inventory tracking system. The Division of Medical Marijuana and Integrative Therapy is responsible for the overall program management, compliance, and enforcement of the statutory and regulatory state framework of the medical marijuana program.
Additional information regarding medical marijuana can be found at the Division of Medical Marijuana and Integrative Therapy’s website: https://doh.dc.gov/service/medical-marijuana-program
