Metrc is the provider for Oklahoma's statewide seed-to-sale inventory tracking system. OMMA licensees must use Metrc to track all medical marijuana and medical marijuana products grown, processed, transported, tested, sold or disposed of within the state.
All licensed businesses must be Metrc-compliant by the May 26 deadline.
Looking for more information on how to get your business up and running with the Metrc statewide seed-to-sale inventory tracking system?
Join OMMA and Metrc for educational seminars May 3-6 for growers, dispensaries, processors, transporters and waste facilities. You'll learn what you need to know to be Metrc-compliant by the May 26 deadline, which includes the opportunity to ask Metrc questions during the seminar.
The seminars will be in-person in downtown OKC, and also livestreamed online. Recordings will be posted for later viewing.
Each seminar has the same agenda as others for the same license type, so there's no requirement or expectation to attend or watch more than one.
Seminars for testing laboratories will be May 17-18. Stay tuned for more details soon.
Seminar Schedule
Registration for in-person attendance is required, but not yet available. OMMA will post more information soon, including links to registration, livestreams and recordings, in the training section of our seed-to-sale page.
The seminars will be held in the Oklahoma Commons Auditorium, 375 N Broadway Ave., Oklahoma City, OK 73102. It's next door to the Oklahoma State Department of Health Vital Records Will-Call.

We've received lots of questions about products with testing certificates of analysis (COAs) "inside" or "outside" of Metrc -- here's the scoop.
State law and OMMA rules require all products for sale to have full compliance testing. If the compliance test's COA is loaded into Metrc, the test is "inside" Metrc and fully Metrc compliant.
As part of the beginning inventory process, some licensees will have medical marijuana and medical marijuana products with full compliance testing, but the COA is not loaded into Metrc. That test is "outside" of Metrc.
For tests "outside" of Metrc, the licensee should use the Metrc package "Notes" section to include information about the testing laboratory, the sample number and the tests passed.
Once the package is transferred or sold to a dispensary, it does not need to be tested again. Dispensaries can sell retail items in the package to licensed patients or caregivers.
If a package tested "outside" of Metrc is not transferred or sold to a dispensary within 60 days of the COA, the grower or processor must test it again with a new COA "inside" of Metrc before transferring or selling it to another licensee.

 In the latest episode of High Points, Executive Director Adria Berry shares updates on training, monthly reporting, COAs and more for getting started in Metrc. Watch it here on YouTube.
As you prepare to get started with the Metrc credentialing process, we wanted to draw your attention to two helpful guides.
The Next Steps guide provides instructions for signing up for training, getting credentialed with Metrc and more.
Once you're ready to set up your beginning inventory, the Beginning Inventory guide walks you through how to do it. All licensees must complete the process by the Metrc implementation deadline on May 26.
We have included these guides and more training information on our website's seed-to-sale page.

How much does Metrc cost?
Metrc is $40/month per license, not per user. Additionally, Metrc charges $0.45 per plant tag and $0.25 per wholesale package tag.
How do I get started in Metrc and sign up for training?
The owner or key administrator of each commercial license is required to take Metrc's New Business class to become credentialed in Metrc. Licensees can use the Metrc scheduler to sign up for New Business training, offered each weekday. The class is also offered on demand through Metrc Learn in your Metrc account. When you complete the training, reach out to Metrc's Support team to get credentialed.
Can we use other software with Metrc?
Yes. Metrc offers an open API that allows other software platforms to integrate into Metrc.
