Tracking the People
Course
For those in the industry, you play a critical role in creating a sustainable cannabis industry as it relates to seed to sale tracking. Seed to sale tracking does not actually begin with the seed, it starts with the people.
Here at Adilas420, we feel a great responsibility to ensure quality within of the cannabis industry by carefully considering the connection between the people, profit, and planet
In 2009 an article was published in the Economist titled “The triple bottom line” idea”. What this article reminds us is to be socially, environmentally, and financially responsible. Governing agencies have begun implementing a regulated cannabis industry by requiring screening and tracking of the people and businesses involved with the industry.
While every state or region is different, applications and licensing is commonly required for:
- Cannabis business owners and investors
- Employees
- Vendors
- Customers
- Patients
The regulatory agency typically accepts applications from businesses, or sometimes individuals, referred to as “caregivers”, to produce and sell marijuana and marijuana products. The regulatory body establishes a system for accepting and approving or denying licenses.
Different types of cannabis licenses may be available for aspiring business owners ranging from various cultivation sizes, production or manufacturing, distributing, transporting, lab or retailing licenses to name a few.
To make things more complicated, there may be a singular application process, that offers vertically integrated / “all in one” or “micro businesses” licensing or there may be similar but slightly different applications for the various license types.
In the following lessons, typical licensing requirements will be addressed in more detail.
Employees
As part of licensing here In the United States, cannabis business operators and employees will oftentimes be required to get fingerprinted and pass background checks. As is true for any business, an employer will be required to maintain detailed records for their employees.
An employer will need to maintain personnel files including payroll records, training records and other data regarding the employees job responsibilities. Governing agencies may also look closely at records of the different vendors a cannabis company does business with.
A cannabis business may be asked to produce copies of not just their own licenses but the business licenses or approvals to operate for those they do business with. A business will want to track its vendors from seed to sale carefully. This will include vendors for raw materials, medicated products, accessories or any other entity who will be paid by the licensee.
Customers
Customer records may also be scrutinized. For businesses selling cannabis products wholesale, the licensees will be required to record their transaction including attributes common on an invoice such as the purchasers businesses details, type of product, quantity and price.
In some markets, including recreational markets, businesses may not be required to track patient or customer data but will be asked to certify they are verifying the age of customers. Regulators, licensees, employees and customers are the most common people tracked through the seed to sale process.
In the following lessons, you will learn what records regarding the people, the product and the process are typically maintained by the various cannabis businesses licenses. Later on you will learn about reporting requirements including the use of seed to sale and/or Track and Trace software to report not only on your product and process but also on employees, vendors and customers.
