The OMMA awarded a contract to the Florida-based company Metrc in September to implement a seed-to-sale system, which is expected to launch in February.
Kelly Williams, interim director of the OMMA, said it will account for the full lifespan of every plant and product across the state.
“We’ll be able to see the movement of those packages and products, and then when we go on site, we’ll be able to verify what is supposed to be on site versus what s actually there,” she said. “So we ll have an extra layer of accountability, plant for plant, package for package that we don t have without a system like this currently.”
