METRC Nevada

What is Nevada’s Cannabis Seed-to-Sale Tracking System?

The Nevada Cannabis Compliance Board (CCB) mandates Metrc as the official seed-to-sale tracking system for all licensed cannabis establishments in the state. Nevada legalized medical cannabis in 2000 and adult-use sales in 2016, with the CCB assuming regulatory oversight from the Department of Taxation on July 1, 2020.

All licensed cannabis establishments—cultivators, producers, distributors, testing facilities, and retail stores—must maintain active Metrc accounts and report all supply chain activities in real time. The CCB enforces rigorous compliance standards, with civil penalties up to $90,000 per violation for non-compliance.
