Metrc Maryland
Your Maryland transfers, matched to every manifest
Catch receiving and count gaps before they turn into reports to the state. Distru puts your count beside the Metrc quantity on every manifest line, and you fix it first.
Count, ship and reconcile from one record
Distru is a cannabis ERP that runs inventory, production, live costing and Metrc sync in one place, with real cost of goods on every batch. Here's how it handles the Maryland rules your team works under.
Locations on immature plant batches
Pick the room when you create a plant batch in Distru. The location is on the record before you sync.
Counts checked against Metrc stock
Distru puts your counted quantity next to the Metrc quantity. Fix the gaps, then sync on your command.
Transfer discrepancy reports
Distru records what was received against each manifest line. The report starts from that record, not from memory.
Win shelf space held for independent brands
Unaffiliated growers and processors list live inventory on DistruCommerce. Dispensary buyers order from it at your prices.
Maryland buyers order from your live menu
Publish branded wholesale menus that pull live stock straight from your inventory, with pricing set for each buyer. Buyers get COAs, order in a few clicks, and only see what's in stock.
Infused joints, raw prerolls and pouches
Set up each new Metrc item category once in Distru. Every package you make carries it from then on.

Key Maryland rules, and how Distru handles them
A few of the Maryland rules operators ask us about most. For the full, current rules, see the Maryland Cannabis Administration (MCA).
| What Maryland requires | How Distru handles it | Where it lives |
|---|---|---|
| Licensees must count physical stock against the Metrc record on a set schedule. | Fix count gaps before they reach Metrc. Distru shows counted and Metrc quantities side by side, and you clear the gaps before you sync. | cannabis inventory management software |
| An immature plant batch needs a location before it can be created in Metrc. | Every plant batch syncs with its location already set. You pick the location when you create the batch in Distru. | Metrc integration |
| The shipper keeps an electronic manifest with a shipment ID and each package's weight and description. | Every truck leaves with a correct manifest. Distru builds it from the order with package weights from the same records, and past manifests stay on the order for quick lookup. | order fulfillment |
| An unresolved transfer discrepancy must be reported to the MCA, and the shipper follows with a preliminary investigation report. | Start any discrepancy report from records, not memory. Distru records received quantities against each manifest line, and every adjustment carries a user and a reason. | cannabis compliance software |
| Packaging can't carry medical or therapeutic claims. | Every label matches the product it's on. Distru label templates pull the item, batch and test data from the package record. | cannabis labeling software |
Rules change. For current requirements, see the MCA.

Frequently Asked Questions
Let’s answer the most commonly asked questions about Cannabis Software.
Does Distru integrate with Metrc in Maryland?
Yes. Distru connects to your Maryland Metrc account. Packages, transfers and manifests sync to Metrc when your team sends them. Operators in 30+ states run Metrc through Distru.
What's the best Metrc software for a Maryland brand?
Pick software that runs plant batches, packages, orders and manifests on the records Metrc holds. Distru does that for growers, processors and distributors. Dispensary POS tools are built for the sales counter. Ask how they handle a transfer discrepancy report.
Why doesn't my Metrc count match after a transfer?
Usually the receiver logged a different weight or count than the manifest shows. In Maryland, an unresolved gap goes to the MCA, and the shipper follows up with an investigation report. Distru keeps the manifest line and the received quantity on one record. You can see where the gap started.
Do Maryland dispensaries have to stock outside brands?
Many do. The MCA requires certain dispensaries to set aside shelf space for social equity licensees and producers with no common ownership. Independent growers and processors fill that space. DistruCommerce puts your live inventory in front of those dispensary buyers.
How long does it take to switch to Distru?
Most teams go live in 3 to 4 weeks. Every account gets a dedicated customer success specialist, who connects Maryland Metrc and loads your packages with you. After launch, your questions go to that person, not a manual or a ticket queue.
Does Distru report to the MCA for me?
No, and that's deliberate. Distru sends nothing to Metrc until you choose to sync. Reports to the MCA, like the annual canopy report, stay with your team. Distru keeps the records behind them.
