Metrc and the State Regulators

Metrc functions as the official state-mandated software in Michigan's cannabis industry, designed to monitor and ensure compliance from seed to sale. It's a system required by the Michigan's Cannabis Regulatory Agency 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 Michigan

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

Waste Disposal

In Michigan, cannabis waste, including residuals from growing and processing, must be rendered unusable by mixing with non-consumable materials such as paper waste or food waste before disposal. Canix supports this process by ensuring seamless compliance with waste management protocols through automated tracking of cannabis waste at every stage. The system helps operators document and store records of waste disposal processes, which are available for regulatory audits.

Track Across Licenses

Michigan cannabis businesses can operate under multiple licenses, such as cultivators and processors, sometimes under the same physical location. Canix makes it easy for operators to manage multiple license types through a centralized system, allowing them to track and report on their cannabis plants and products across different licenses, ensuring compliance with Michigan’s complex cannabis licensing structure.

Excise Taxes

In Michigan, cannabis sales are subject to a 10% excise tax on the "sales price" of adult-use cannabis, along with a 6% sales tax. Canix simplifies tax compliance by calculating taxes automatically at the point of sale, providing clear reporting on excise taxes owed, and ensuring all sales are accurately tracked for tax reporting. Canix also helps operators manage bundled transactions, separating non-cannabis items to ensure correct tax rates are applied only to cannabis sales.

Label Requirements

Michigan law mandates strict labeling for cannabis products, including strain name, THC/CBD levels, lab testing information, and a host of required warnings (e.g., National Poison Control Center number). Canix’s labeling system helps operators comply with these requirements by generating compliant labels that include all necessary details, with the ability to easily update label templates as state regulations change.

Plant Stages

Michigan requires cannabis plants to be categorized by growth stages such as vegetative and flowering, with unique names assigned to plant batches. Canix supports operators by providing a detailed plant batch tracking system, enabling them to track the lifecycle of each plant batch through every stage, from seed to harvest, with the ability to name and track batches for compliance purposes.

Plant Weighing

Michigan requires all cannabis plants to be weighed individually, with precise tracking of weight from harvest through processing. Canix automates this process, integrating plant weights directly into the system, and ensures that the weights are accurately recorded at the point of harvest and throughout the production process, keeping operators compliant with Michigan’s regulations.

Transfers

Michigan does not allow multi-destination transfers of cannabis products. Canix helps operators stay compliant by supporting single-destination transfers, ensuring that inventory tracking, transfer manifests, and transport data are streamlined, and compliant with Michigan’s Cannabis Regulatory Agency (CRA) rules.

Data-Driven Cultivation

Michigan’s regulatory environment demands a data-driven approach to cannabis cultivation to optimize processes and ensure compliance. Canix provides operators with real-time data on key metrics such as plant health, environmental conditions, and yield predictions. These insights help cultivators make informed decisions to enhance productivity and maintain regulatory compliance, resulting in better operational efficiency and product consistency.

Automated Compliance

Canix ensures that Michigan cannabis operators stay ahead of regulatory requirements through automated compliance tools, from seed-to-sale tracking to tax calculation and reporting. By integrating with state-mandated tracking systems, Canix helps businesses stay compliant with Michigan’s Cannabis Regulatory Agency (CRA) and other regulatory bodies, ensuring smooth operations with minimal manual intervention.
