New York cannabis regulation history

New York cannabis regulation history

New York’s cannabis journey began in 2014 with the Compassionate Care Act, legalizing medical cannabis. In 2021, the Marijuana Regulation and Tax Act (MRTA) legalized recreational marijuana, setting the stage for a robust adult-use cannabis market.

The rollout has faced challenges, including unlicensed dispensaries and regulatory uncertainty — and for much of 2024 and early 2025, the state had planned to adopt the BioTrack system for seed-to-sale tracking.

However, in September 2025, the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) announced that New York will transition to the Metrc Seed-to-Sale (STS) system instead of BioTrack, with implementation expected in early 2026.

In the meantime, all licensees are still required to maintain a real-time electronic inventory tracking system to remain compliant.

Now is the time to put a compliant solution in place and prepare for a smooth transition when Metrc goes live.

New York (NY) FAQ's
Laws and Regulations

When will Metrc integration be required for license holders in New York?

Implementation of Metrc STS is expected in early 2026. Until then, you must still use a real-time, electronic tracking solution (like GrowFlow) to stay compliant.

What does “integration with Metrc” mean?

Integration means your inventory tracking system — such as GrowFlow — will connect directly to Metrc’s API to report product movements in real-time.

Is GrowFlow ready for New York’s Metrc transition?

Yes. GrowFlow is fully integrated with Metrc in other states and will ensure a smooth transition when New York’s rollout begins.

What happens if I don’t have a compliant tracking system in place?

Operators without a real-time solution risk fines, license issues, and audit failures. It’s critical to have a compliant system in place today.

Do I still need a real-time inventory system before Metrc goes live?

Yes. Compliance requirements are active now. Manual tracking using spreadsheets or paper is not compliant — all movements must be recorded electronically in real time.

What happens to BioTrack tags I’ve already purchased?

If you previously purchased BioTrack tags, Metrc will offer a credit for those under the new system once the transition begins.

How does GrowFlow help my cannabis business stay compliant?

GrowFlow minimizes data entry errors and offers real-time tracking to ensure compliance. Our intuitive system is designed to handle New York’s regulations effortlessly.
