It's important to understand why legal cannabis states take inventory compliance so seriously. First and foremost, proper cannabis inventory procedures are vital from a community safety perspective, a responsibility that all business owners take on. Without a robust seed-to-sale tracking system, California wouldn't be able to account for cannabis products as they move throughout the state. Lack of tracking would increase the likelihood that tainted products reach consumers, cannabis falls into the hands of minors and/or products travel to non-legal states.
Because inventory tracking is so important, breaking the state's rules could result in hefty fines, loss of license and sometimes even arrest. Establishing inventory procedures early on will save you time, money and a countless amount of headaches.
