“Navigating New York’s Complex Cannabis Regulations: How Biotrack Can Help Operators Stay Compliant and Grow Their Business”
April 13, 2023
Staying compliant is a requirement
As an operator in the state of New York, you are no doubt aware of the complex and ever-changing regulations that you must adhere to in order to operate successfully. From compliance with the state’s medical program to the new adult-use market, staying on top of the rules and regulations can be a daunting task.
States, including New York, ensure cannabis laws and regulation compliance through traceability. Traceability compliance refers to the process of keeping track of cannabis products from seed to sale. This includes tracking all cannabis products as they move through the supply chain, from the inception at cultivation to processing, distribution, and sales. The goal of these regulations is to ensure that all cannabis products sold in the state of New York are safe, properly labeled, and free of contaminants.
All license holders in the state of New York are required to comply with traceability regulations. This includes cannabis cultivators, processors, distributors, and retailers. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in fines, penalties, or even revocation of a license.
The New York State Cannabis Control Board requires adult-use cannabis licensees to adopt and maintain security, tracking, record keeping, record retention, and surveillance systems for all cannabis at every stage of acquiring, possession, manufacture, sale, delivery, transporting, testing, or distributing. This includes utilizing an approved seed-to-sale tracking system to compile the licensee’s cannabis inventory and transaction data. The Board may deny an application for a license, including renewal applications, if the applicant demonstrates a pattern of deficiencies, including, but not limited to, refusal or inability to produce records or reports as requested by the Office.
BioTrack’s Seed-to-Sale software keeps you compliant
One key aspect of traceability compliance is the use of a Seed-to-Sale tracking system. This system is used to track all cannabis products from the time they are seeded until the time they are sold to a customer. It allows for real-time tracking of cannabis products and allows for the identification of any potential issues or inconsistencies in the supply chain.
