The industry is managed by the [https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada.html Health Canada] government agency. They maintain a [https://www.canada.ca/en/services/health/campaigns/cannabis.html cannabis specific page
Legalized on October 17, 2018 through the the [https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/cj-jp/cannabis/ Cannabis Act].
Each province and territory may have their own rules
== Track and Trace ==
There is no real-time government run database like exists in some jurisdictions in the USA. Licensed business simply report monthly via [https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/drugs-medication/cannabis/tracking-system.html CSV upload].
All packages will have a valid excise stamp and carry a standardized symbol.
== Third Party Integration ==
There is no centralised system to integrate with, therefore: there are no APIs to learn. Any software that can produce the necessary CSV formats will suffice.

We have loads of training embedded within the application and a full suite of documentation is available at help.openthc.com. We also include links to some general cannabis business SOP guidelines: https://openthc.org/sop
How cannabis is tracked from the time it enters the facility to when it leaves the facility?
The Employee/User is, naturally, responsible for the data-entry. They follow guidelines from the SOPs and explicit steps from either a) OpenTHC Manual or b) company specific SOPs that OpenTHC can help define.
Any and all Materials received are entered first into an 'Incoming Transfer' record. This details the origin license and material information (ie: strain, product name & type, cost) on this transfer/purcahse record. These materials then flow through the WT system when they are processed (converted) or then sold through an 'Outgoing Transfer' record. Being processed consumes material from Lot-A and allocates it to new Lot-B, in this way consumption and creation are linked together. When sold, some or all of the material may be sold, each will have a line-item detailing the transfer/sale of material.
How inventory and distribution transactions are recorded for all cannabis that is possessed by the licence holder, including:
OpenTHC keeps many logs -- when these events occur and a delta of the items in the system. These logs, tied with current records, record all activities and associated context.
Dates, Packaging & Quantities
For example: on Conversion from Flower to Packaging there is a record of source materials being reduced by moving to an Lot items, eg: -350 grams from A and +100 x 3.5 g packages in B.
From these conversion processes many events are recorded, the conversion as well as the delta between the source and the output materials. These logs contain the date, time, user, unique material identifiers and contextual details.
Other processes in the application are tracked in a similar fashion. For material collection from plants (Harvest/Cure), pre-processing of bulk materials, material refinement, packaging and sales.
Receipt of Cannabis
When materials are recevied an Incoming Transfer record is created. This documents the origin and the details of the incoming materials which become inventory lots in the receiving license.
Sale, Distribution and Export of cannabis and Transfer of cannabis
When materials are sold an Outgoing Transfer record is created. This documents the destination and the details of the outgoing materials.
