It's a system required by the Maryland Cannabis Administration for all legal cannabis operations within the state. The cannabis software tracks the life cycle of cannabis products, providing state regulators with a detailed history of each item. This helps maintain a regulated market and ensures consumer safety. Every entity involved in the cannabis business, be it cultivation, processing, testing, distribution, or retail, is required to use Metrc.


REGULATIONS

Cannabis Software for Maryland

Canix is designed to meet the specific needs of Maryland's cannabis supply chain and market, helping cultivators, manufacturers, and distributors stay compliant with state regulations while optimizing operational efficiency.

Waste Disposal

Maryland cannabis regulations require the proper destruction and disposal of cannabis waste. Cannabis that is surplus, out-of-date, or waste from processing or packaging must be handled in accordance with the licensee's approved waste disposal plan or may be sent to a licensed grower for proper destruction. This ensures that all cannabis waste is tracked, documented, and disposed of in compliance with state law. Canix supports these regulations by providing detailed tracking for cannabis waste, ensuring full compliance with regulatory reporting and audits.

Track Across Licenses

Maryland cannabis businesses often operate under multiple licenses, such as cultivation and processing. Managing inventory across these licenses requires careful tracking to avoid compliance issues. Canix enables operators to seamlessly manage and track cannabis plants, products, and waste across multiple license types from a centralized system. This ensures accurate reporting and compliance with Maryland's cannabis regulations, making it easier to meet complex multi-license tracking requirements.

Excise Taxes

Maryland imposes a 9% sales and use tax on retail sales of adult-use cannabis, which went into effect in July 2023. This rate mirrors the sales tax on alcoholic beverages. Canix simplifies the process by automatically calculating the taxes at the point of sale, ensuring that all sales are tracked accurately for tax reporting, and providing clear tax documentation to operators.

Label Requirements

Maryland cannabis products must meet specific labeling standards, including listing the cannabinoid profile, net weight, non-cannabis ingredients, and allergens. Labels must also include health warnings, such as “For medical use only. Keep out of reach of children,” and the name of the recommending physician. Canix assists operators in generating compliant labels that can be easily updated to reflect changes in state regulations, ensuring that all cannabis products meet Maryland’s requirements.

Plant Stages

Maryland requires cannabis plants to be categorized by growth stages, such as vegetative and flowering, and assigns unique names to each plant batch. Canix provides operators with a robust system for tracking plant batches, helping them manage the full lifecycle of each batch from seed to harvest and ensuring compliance with state-mandated tracking requirements.

Plant Weighing

In Maryland, cannabis plants must be weighed individually throughout the growth, harvest, and processing stages. Canix automates this process, integrating plant weights directly into the system to ensure compliance with Maryland’s regulations and accurate tracking of cannabis biomass.

Transfers

Transfers of cannabis between licensees must follow strict guidelines. Maryland regulations prohibit the sale or transfer of cannabis products without verifying the identity of the recipient through valid government-issued ID. Licensees are subject to civil penalties for violations of these transfer rules. Canix supports compliance by providing detailed transfer tracking and generating the necessary documentation to meet regulatory requirements.

Data-Driven Cultivation

Maryland's regulatory environment emphasizes the need for data-driven decisions in cannabis cultivation. Canix provides real-time data on key cultivation metrics like plant health, environmental conditions, and yield predictions. These insights help operators optimize their processes, enhance productivity, and maintain compliance with Maryland’s regulations, ensuring efficient and compliant operations.

Automated Compliance

Canix ensures Maryland cannabis operators remain compliant through automated tools that cover all aspects of seed-to-sale tracking, tax calculations, and reporting. With the strongest Metrc Connect integration, Cannabis ERP is the best compliance solution for the Maryland cannabis market. The system is fully integrated with the state’s mandated tracking system, helping businesses stay compliant with minimal manual intervention.
