This Inventory Procedures document is for cannabis businesses applying to the California Department of Cannabis Control for an annual license. It has different versions available based on your license type.
Inventory Control is second only to Security in its importance to state regulators, because it ensures that no cannabis can go unaccounted for without serious consequences. The State of California isn’t going to let its adult-use cannabis law fail by cannabis going out the back door!
