Missouri Cannabis Regulators Seek Alternatives To Track-And-Trace Leader Metrc

Metrc, Floridaa nationwide leader in cannabistracking and tracing software,does not meet the needs of Missouri’s cannabis regulatorsand, with the government contract up for bid, could be replaced by another company.

If a competitor is awarded a Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) product flow control contractin a $1.5 billion marketit would be the first known instance of a state cannabis regulator ditching Metrc for another firm.

But with Metrc buying out its closest rivals, it’s hard to identify a readily available viable alternative, observers sayMJBizDaily.

Missouri AG Sends 33 Cease and Desist Letters to Unlicensed Dispensaries

The Missouri Attorney General’s Office announced Thursday that officials have sent cease and desist letters to 33 retailers in the state who are suspected of selling cannabis products, or products marketed as cannabis, without a license.

Attorney General Catherine L. Hanaway asked the businesses to stop selling the products, labeling them “counterfeit” and “in violation of the Missouri Trade Practices Act.” The cease and desist letters also require businesses to stop using packaging that is “deceptive” or appealing to children and to stop retail strategies designed to confuse consumers.

The Attorney General’s Office noted that laboratory testing on some of the products revealed lead, arsenic, mercury, ethanol (and other solvents) and pesticides.

“These unlicensed distributors are peddling dangerous, fraudulent and intoxicating cannabis and marijuana products. A storefront and a sales counter do not magically transform an illegal drug operation into a legitimate business. My office is prepared to use the full extent of our authority to hold bad actors accountable.” – AG Hanaway, in a press release

Hanaway’s order included 18 stores in the St. Louis area. Louis, as well as 13 in Kansas City and 2 in Springfield.

Missouri Rolls Out Decals To Identify Licensed Cannabis Dispensaries

A new initiative designed to help cannabis patients and consumers identify licensed cannabis dispensaries and products is being implemented by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services’ Division of Cannabis Regulation.

The initiative is called “Verified Dispensary: ​​We’re on the List.”

It aims to provide tools to support informed purchasing decisions, including a government sticker attached to an interactive dispensary map and guidance on how to identify regulated products, according to a news release.

“Missouri residents should be able to make informed decisions about where they access cannabis products if they choose to do so,” said department director Amy Moore in a news release. “The sticker shows that the cannabis business is licensed and regulated by the state and that its products meet health and safety regulatory requirements.”
