Greetings Metrc® Users,

Effective 07/06/2020, the Marijuana Regulatory Agency (MRA) and Metrc would like to announce the creation and required use of a new item category, “Kief.”

This item category will encompass all products which are using the resin glands which contain the terpenes and cannabinoids off lower.

The following fields will be required for the new weight-based item category:

• Name

• Category

• Unit of Measure

• Strain

Effective immediately, all licensees must:

• Discontinue existing kief items under the previous category

• Create their kief items under the new category“Kief.” Licensees cannot use the previous item categories of “Concentrate”

• All existing kief items in the licensee’s inventory do not need to be repackaged. This change will be for future items and packaging

The following pages will provide further step-by-step instruction on how to make the required changes.

‍

Item Categories Explained

Categories in Metrc are used as away for licensees to group items they are creating. Once an item is grouped under a certain category, that item is reported back based on the category it is placed under. It is important that all licensees know the categories that are available for these items to be placed under along with the expectation of which category these items should fall under.
