Why Compliance Data: Beyond A Zero-Sum-Game

October 20, 2020 by RJ Falcioni Leave a Comment

Introduction The cannabis industry remains fixated on compliance, but not in the right way.

California’s Mandated Track and Trace System: Is it Helpful or Harmful?

July 11, 2019 by John Oram Leave a Comment

The California Cannabis Track-and-Trace (CCTT) system, which became operational for businesses with full annual licenses in January 2019, is a major milestone to further legitimize our industry. However, the newly mandated regulations have done more to hinder the legal marketplace than boost it. Convoluted daily logistics, lack of complete accountability, as well as the limited […]

Cannabis Track and Trace Is A Disaster Waiting to Happen—and Not for the Reasons You Might Think

May 29, 2019 by AggregatedNews Leave a Comment

Franwell Metrc

By Griffen Thorne, Attorney at Harris Bricken Most states’ regulated cannabis regimes require licensed cannabis companies to use seed-to-sale track-and-trace software.

Our California cannabis attorneys frequently […]

Mom & Pops are Making it Happen in Maryland: Charm City Medicus

January 21, 2019 by Rob Meagher Leave a Comment

Recently, CBE has focused its company stories on large licensee consolidators primarily due the public funding efforts of many of them.

California Seed-to-Sale Contract: Holy Cow!

October 4, 2017 by Rob Meagher 3 Comments

Franwell Metrc

A couple of weeks ago, CBE published Seed-to-Sale Scorecard: METRC’s Big Year. But at the time, we had yet to put our hands on the contract, that in our eyes, has put Franwell so far ahead of the pack in terms of revenue and working capital, that catching-up will be extremely difficult for the only other state […]

Seed-to-Sale Competition Heated-up in 2015. Expect it to Intensify This Year

January 26, 2016 by Rob Meagher Leave a Comment

Seed-to-Sale

As we moved into the New Year, one thing was abundantly clear. The competition for the hearts and minds of Producer, Processor and Retail (PPRs) licensees seed-to-sale software and state trace-ability systems which was very competitive in 2015, was shaping up to become a no holds barred melee in 2016 between BioTrackTHC, Franwell METRC and […]
