Metrc Minnesota

Minnesota's cannabis landscape has reached a pivotal moment. With adult-use cannabis rules approved by an administrative law judge in April 2025, the Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) is now positioned to begin issuing business licenses and launch retail operations. This marks a significant milestone in the state's transition from a medical-only program to a comprehensive adult-use cannabis market.

For the established medical program, the state mandates the use of Metrc as the official seed-to-sale tracking system. As Minnesota expands into adult-use cannabis, Metrc Minnesota will continue to enable comprehensive monitoring of cannabis products from cultivation to sale—an essential tool for preventing diversion and maintaining the integrity of both medical and adult-use markets.

All licensed cannabis businesses in Minnesota must use Metrc or a compatible third-party system like Distru for inventory management, compliance reporting, and product traceability. Integration with Metrc is essential for cultivators, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers to ensure ongoing compliance with OCM regulations. The system supports real-time tracking of cannabis plants and products, generation of transport manifests, and accurate reporting to regulatory bodies.

With over 1,000 qualified social equity applicants currently in the licensing pipeline and OCM prioritizing social equity throughout the process, Minnesota is positioned to become one of the most inclusive cannabis markets in the nation. By leveraging tools like Metrc and integrated platforms such as Distru, cannabis operators can streamline operations and stay ahead of evolving state requirements.
