METRC, which stands for Marijuana Enforcement Tracking and Compliance, is the cannabis governance solution providing end-to-end tracking and tracing for all cannabis supply chain activities to dozens of states in the United States and helping ensure a closed, legal ecosystem.

Voters passed the Massachusetts Marijuana Legalization Initiative in 2016. This initiative allows Massachusetts citizens to own marijuana and use it recreationally. Prior to this change, only medical-use cannabis was allowed in the state. As a result of the initiative passing, the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) was created. The CCC has been given regulatory powers to oversee cannabis production and sales across the state. Metrc was chosen by the CCC as the state’s official seed to sale tracking platform. All businesses working with cannabis in any capacity, either medical or recreational, must be Metrc compliant, as of 2018.
