CloudLIMS Announces Metrc Integration with its Cannabis LIMS in Michigan

Wilmington, Delaware – July 16, 2024 – CloudLIMS, a leading SOC 2 compliant and ISO 9001:2015 certified lab informatics provider, is proud to announce its integration with Metrc, the most trusted and experienced provider of cannabis regulatory systems in the United States. CloudLIMS’ inclusion on Metrc’s validated integrators list for Michigan typifies CloudLIMS’ continued commitment to enhancing regulatory compliance and operational efficiency for cannabis testing laboratories.

METRC, which stands for Marijuana Enforcement Tracking and Compliance, is a seed-to-sale tracking system for the cannabis industry. It ensures compliance by labeling and monitoring plants, following their journey from growth through harvest, and overseeing their transformation into cannabis products ready for market. In Michigan, the Cannabis Regulatory Agency (CRA) has mandated the use of Metrc as the designated tracking system for all commercial cannabis operations, including cannabis testing labs.

CloudLIMS’ customers will enjoy the following benefits with the METRC interface:

Automated Sample Retrieval and Posting of Results: The integration allows laboratories to automatically retrieve sample information from Metrc directly into the Cannabis LIMS, along with details such as Metrc package tag ID, strain, and more. Upon completing the tests, CloudLIMS’ users can seamlessly post test results to Metrc in a few clicks. This ensures timely and accurate reporting, helping laboratories comply with the state regulatory requirements without additional administrative overhead. The integration maintains consistently accurate and up-to-date records in Metrc, eliminating discrepancies and saving valuable time for laboratory staff.

Streamlined Reporting: Integration with Metrc automates compliant CoA generation, saving time for testing laboratories. This streamlined process ensures the timely submission of CoAs, enhancing overall operational efficiency.

Reduced Turnaround Time: The integration of CloudLIMS and Metrc significantly accelerates the reporting process, which is crucial in the fast-paced cannabis industry. This capability enables laboratories to report product test results to state regulatory agencies on time, ensuring compliance and preventing regulatory pitfalls.

Simplified Audits: During regulatory audits, CloudLIMS’ interface to Metrc simplifies data access and verification, transforming audits into a smoother, less stressful experience. The interface provides transparent access to necessary information, ensuring compliance readiness.

Real-time Visibility: The integration provides real-time updates on sample status and test results, allowing laboratory personnel to stay informed and make timely decisions. This transparency enhances communication and coordination within the laboratory.

Scalability for Growth: CloudLIMS’ interface to Metrc is designed to scale seamlessly with business growth in the expanding cannabis sector. This scalability accommodates increased data volume and complexity, ensuring sustained compliance and supporting expansion.

How Does the CloudLIMS-Metrc Integration Work

CloudLIMS’ integration with Metrc automates state regulatory reporting through a series of seamless steps. 

Laboratories initiate the integration by securely connecting CloudLIMS with Metrc using CloudLIMS’ proprietary and secure REST API key.

As samples are submitted to Metrc, the LIMS begins fetching sample details, including package tag IDs, item names, categories, and more information, from Metrc utilizing the facility’s license. 

Laboratory personnel then proceed with sample processing and testing, adhering to standard operating procedures. 

Finally, upon completion of testing, test results are automatically logged into the LIMS with interoperable instruments, and seamlessly transmitted back to Metrc in a state-compliant format, ensuring accurate and efficient reporting.

“We are excited to bring this integration to cannabis testing labs in Michigan,” said Arun Apte, CEO of CloudLIMS. “It underscores our commitment to providing an advanced, automated solution for cannabis testing laboratories, ensuring they can meet stringent regulatory requirements efficiently. We eagerly anticipate announcing Metrc validation in additional states soon, broadening our support for cannabis testing labs across multiple states,” he added.

Michigan Bills Seek Ban on Vape Flavors and 57% Tax Hike

Michigan lawmakers recently introduced a series of bills aimed at restricting access to flavored vapes and other reduced-risk nicotine products. The proposed laws would also impose steep 57% taxes on vapes, pricing many remaining products out of reach for lower-income residents.

Sponsored by anti-vaping groups, the legislation mirrors previously unsuccessful efforts in Michigan to curb vaping through bans and excessive taxes.

Key Components of Michigan's Anti-Vaping Legislative Package

The eight bills notably include:

A ban on all vape flavors besides tobacco (SB 649)

A 57% tax on vape products, oral nicotine, and smokeless tobacco (SB 648)

Potential bans on online sales directly to consumers (SB 648)

Repeals of local vape and tobacco product restrictions (SB 647)

If passed, the laws would force many vapers back to deadly cigarettes, fuel black market trade, and eliminate most vape shops in Michigan.

Call to Action Against Looming Vape Bans and Taxes

National vaping advocacy group CASAA has issued an urgent call to action for Michigan residents to contact state legislators opposing the legislation.

Citizens can easily send pre-written letters or craft their own messages voicing concerns over the bills awaiting committee hearings. With no sessions currently scheduled, outreach aims to deter further momentum and consideration of the legislation.

Impacts on Michigan Vapers if Bills Advance

While some provisions seem intended to protect youth, experts agree the unintended consequences of flavor bans and excessive taxes would far outweigh any potential benefits.

Key likely outcomes include:

Closure of almost all vape shops unable to sell popular flavored products

Surging illegal cross-border and internet sales avoiding oversight and age verification

Reversion of many ex-smokers back to deadly combustible cigarettes

Emergence of an uncontrolled black market for banned flavored vapes

Loss of tax revenue as vapers turn to untaxed underground markets

Instead of protecting public health, the laws would ultimately endanger more lives through increased smoking-linked disease and deaths.

Ongoing Political Push to Curb Michigan Vaping

Governor Gretchen Whitmer and anti-tobacco nonprofits have repeatedly tried banning vape flavors and imposing restrictions through legislation and executive action despite widespread public opposition.

Their latest effort emerges via the deep-pocketed Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, which coordinates lobbying and drummed-up public support for the bills alongside other billionaire-funded activist groups.

These organizations continue prioritizing an end to all tobacco and nicotine use over embracing evidence showing vapes and smokeless products benefit public health by eliminating smoking-related harms.

Conflicting Positions on Flavored Nicotine Products

Ironically, many legislators supporting bans on menthol cigarettes and flavored vapes also champion Michigan’s legal marijuana industry. This industry produces cannabis vape oils with flavor additives and edible products mimicking common candies.

Their stances indicate political posturing rather than consistent public health policy. Lawmakers cannot credibly argue such products appeal dangerously to kids when it comes to vaping yet remain reasonable regarding recreational cannabis.

Ultimately the fate of flavored vapes in Michigan remains uncertain. But threats of excessive taxation and blanket bans raise concerns over government overreach into consumer choice while failing to address youth access issues responsibly.

TOPS OF 2022 – Pot Bust Sets Record in Ohio County

Deputies Pulled Over the Van Driver for a Moving Violation It was a lane change that got Barry Lee Stadler pulled over. It was, however, the 429 pounds of marijuana that got him tossed in jail. The date was April 21st, and the location of the traffic stop was in Ohio County near The Highlands. Major Rod Vaught and Cpl. Nate Dober had witnessed a middle-aged white male driving a white van erratically in the eastbound lanes of I-70 near the bottom of Two-Mile Hill. Seconds after approaching Stadler’s van, the two deputies discovered hundreds of pounds of pot with a street value of nearly $1 million, according to Sheriff Tom Howard. Stadler’s van was registered in his native Michigan, but he told investigators his trip had started in Oklahoma and was headed to New York. Although Stadler admitted only to possessing a small amount of marijuana in the van’s middle console, Vaught and Dober not only discovered a burned joint, a small amount of cannabis, a glass bowl, and a grinder, but the deputies also discovered 10 large, brown boxes and six huge garbage bags loaded with packaged marijuana. The confiscated cannabis filled on entire room inside the Ohio County Sheriff's Office. “Not only is this the largest marijuana bust in my career, this is the largest in the history of the Ohio County Sheriff’s Office, ever,” Howard reported. “This is just proof that on a daily basis that we have a lot of bad stuff flowing this county on a daily basis, but it also a prime example why I am so big on enforcing the traffic laws along I-70. “We do a lot of traffic stops on Interstate 470 and I-70 on a daily basis. People may not realize it, but our deputies spend a lot of time on the interstates enforcing speed limits, especially since the I-70 project started nearly three years ago,” he continued. “This bust took place because of speeding, and our guys did an awesome job. This is why our guys will continue running traffic every day.” Stadler, of Hudsonville, Michigan, was arraigned by Ohio County Magistrate Patty Murphy. He was charged with possession and intent to distribute a felonious amount of a Level I narcotic and was held in the Northern Regional Jail on a $100,000 cash only bond until federal authorities took custody of the smuggler, according to Ohio County Magistrate Janine Varner. Soon after LEDE News was the first media source in the Wheeling area to report the arrest, several local residents expressed displeasure with the arrest because of recent progress with state laws allowing medicinal marijuana in 37 states, including West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. “The law is still the law, and enforcing the law is our duty until those laws are changed,” Howard insisted. “This bust is just proof that on a daily basis that we have a lot of bad stuff flowing this county on a daily basis, but it also a prime example why I am so big on enforcing the traffic laws along I-70. “We do a lot of traffic stops on Interstate 470 and I-70 on a daily basis.

Cannabis Packaging Design Trends In US.

When it comes to packaging, Michigan cannabis packaging companies can genuinely express their creativity. The following are some of the trends we've noticed:

Distinct packaging shapes: When your competitors' products are packaged in the same tin or box, you can stand out by being different. A large glass grenade sitting on the shelf next to many actual packaging would be impossible for customers to miss while shopping in a store.

Bright and immediately recognizable colors: Cookie brands' success, like Lemonade, can be partly attributed to their well-defined, instantly identifiable brand components. Lemonade bags are CBD yellow, while cookies bags are brilliant blue. Both of these colors are distinctive and stand out on store shelves. Brightly colored and easily identified packaging and merchandise are essential for a brand to engage in hype culture.

Functionality: Packaging companies such as CanLock provide odor-proofing and durability, which are practical benefits consumers seek. Brands like Ozone use glass jars to keep their cannabis as fresh as possible. Your packing must not only look good, but it must also operate and perform well.

Thanks to a forward-thinking legislature and people, Michigan is now one of the few states in the country to have legalized both medical and recreational marijuana for a few years. The Michigan Marijuana Regulatory Agency (MRA) has had to recognize the effectiveness and shortcomings of its marijuana laws during the last few years. 

The final part of proposed regulation revisions in July or 2021 affects who can work in a Michigan cannabis firm. These proposed revisions will create an exclusion list that will make it illegal for anyone on the list to work in a cannabis business in the state. The rule's selection criteria range from a conviction for selling a controlled substance to a minor to a pattern of theft or fraud convictions, to being previously found ineligible for a license upon application, to conduct that endangers human safety; if an individual meets any of the rule's criteria, the MRA has complete discretion to bar them from working at any recreational marijuana business. 

Exclusions might be temporary or permanent, and they can be overturned by asking for a hearing. If no challenge is requested, or if the challenge fails, the person remains on the exclusion list until the MRA makes a different decision. Exclusion lists will be closely scrutinized by cannabis business owners in both the medical and recreational businesses since failing to exclude someone on the list from your cannabis business could result in disciplinary action.

With no significant roadblocks in their way, these proposed laws are likely to become legislation in the next months and will be implemented quickly. If you own marijuana business in Michigan, you'll want to figure out if you'll be able to stay in compliance after the regulations are completed. When these new regulations are implemented, consulting with Michigan cannabis legal specialists can help ensure that your doors remain open.

1. ROTOGRAVURE Originally developed for printing high-resolution magazines, inserts, etc. Ideal for medium-to-high volume runs with little to no variation in design. Transfers ink from indentations in a metal printing plate to a substrate. Rotogravure is considered to be an intaglio process because the design that is printed is engraved/etched below the surface of the printing plate. The printing plate is coated in ink and the surface is then wiped clean. The substrate is pressed against the ink plate and the indentations, the substrate penetrates the indentations and draws out the ink.

2. FLEXOGRAPHIC Lower resolution than rotogravure. Ideal for medium-to-high volume runs with little to no variation in design. Flexographic printing utilizes rubber plates mounted on roller covered in ink. The substrate passes through a series of rotary plates as roller feeds each plate with ink, with a single plate required for each individual printed color. The relief plates work in tandem to provide all colors for the final print product.

3. DIGITAL Resolution rival’s rotogravure and flexographic printing. Does not require plates or tooling, making it the ideal printing method for cannabis products that are shorter runs and allows for greater artwork variation.

Ex-Marijuana Regulator Rick Johnson Exposes Lansing Bribery Scheme, Allegedly Taking Bribes for Favorable Treatment

Ex-Marijuana Regulator Rick Johnson 'A Bad Guy' in Lansing Bribery Scheme, Lawyer Says

According to a report from the Detroit News, former Michigan marijuana regulator Rick Johnson was identified as a "bad guy" in a Lansing bribery scheme. Johnson was the former director of the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA).

The report states that Johnson was accused of taking bribes from marijuana businesses in exchange for favorable treatment. The bribes were allegedly paid to Johnson by two individuals, who were identified as "co-conspirators" in the bribery scheme.

The report also states that Johnson was accused of taking bribes from marijuana businesses in exchange for favorable treatment. Johnson was also accused of using his position to influence the awarding of marijuana licenses.

The report further states that Johnson was charged with bribery, conspiracy to commit bribery, and extortion. Johnson is currently awaiting trial in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.

The report also states that Johnson's attorney, John Shea, argued that Johnson was not a "bad guy" in the bribery scheme. Shea argued that Johnson was merely a "middleman" in the scheme and was not aware of the bribes being paid.

The report concludes by noting that Johnson's trial is scheduled to begin in October 2021.

I want to remind all of fellow libertarians, anarchists, volynterists and other freedom-lovers that the goal isnt to violently overthrow the state. History teaches us, again and again, that that is much more likely to lead to worse outcomes than what we have now. No, what we want to have enough people peacefully ignoring the states dictates that they cant enforce them. Consider for example marijuana: Its still a federal crime to possess, sell or use weed, that hasnt changed, and looks pretty unlikely to change under Joe Biden. But if you go to Michigan, Illinois or one of the several other states that have fully legalized it at the state level, and you would be forgiven for not being aware of that. Stores openly advertise the sale of cannabis and you can walk into any of them and buy neatly packaged products containing thc. People smoke it in public and nobody harasses them about it. How is that possible? Why arent the DEA or FBI coming in shutting down dispensaries in these states? They dont have the manpower and even if they did shut them down, new ones would spring right back up as soon as they left. Not to mention the public resistance and cost in political capital(as Obama learned in his first term before giving it up). The Federal government has always relied on the state and local police to enforce drug laws, and now states are saying that at least on this one substance they wont, theres really nothing to be done about it. Whatever you think of weed(I personally dont use it), theres an important lesson here about how powerful the state really is, and what steps can actually work to reduce their presence in our lives.

Andy DeFrancesco has significant experience in the energy, hospitality and retail and consumer package goods sectors having founded and served as Chairman for a number of companies including Delavaco Energy Inc. (Founder & Chairman), APO Energy Inc. & P1 Energy Corp.

Andy DeFrancesco has built a career out of a knack for seeing around corners and a willingness to take risks ahead of the crowd.  Those traits have led the 49-year-old serial investor, fund manager and motor-racing fan into countries and asset plays that some might view as a bit over the top, or at least highly contrarian.  

There was, for example, the 2006 investment in an oil wells in drug-plagued and violent Colombia when he and his backers were doing quite well investing in the safer locales in the oil and gas fields of the eastern United States. Then, there was DeFrancesco’s bet on a tiny gold mine in Tyrone County in Northern Ireland. That particular venture sounded at the time more like the setup for a joke about chasing leprechaun’s than a serious investment.  

In recent years, DeFrancesco’s commitment to both medicinal and recreational marijuana has morphed into a wide-ranging collection of private and publicly-traded companies and assets in the U.S., Canada, and abroad. Last year, he became chairman and chief investment officer of SOL Global Investments, a Toronto-based company that owns a wide variety of cannabis assets, including a collection of recreational-pot cultivation and dispensary assets in the U.S., principally in Michigan, Florida, and California.
