State cannabis, decoded.

Michigan has a full R 420 rule pack live — every Condition of Participation, every required document, mapped to its CRA citation. METRC document-layer support works across Arizona, California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Oklahoma, and other METRC-tracked states — but state-specific rule packs for those are in development. Non-METRC states (Illinois BioTrack, Washington proprietary) are not in scope today.

No. METRC is the state-mandated seed-to-sale tracking system that cannabis licensees in METRC states are required to use under state rules. FileFlo is the document layer alongside METRC — managing the artifacts state inspectors request during audits (license documents, CoAs, manifests, employee badges, SOPs) that METRC and operational ERPs typically don't store.

Most state cannabis programs require 3-5 year minimum retention (Michigan requires 5 years under R 420.501, California requires 7 years under DCC rules). FileFlo enforces the longer-of-state-or-federal minimum and prevents deletion of in-retention records. The retention rule applies to METRC manifests, Certificates of Analysis, employee training records, SOPs, and license documents.

Yes for Michigan — the CRA Audit Pack export produces a complete inspector-ready document binder organized by R 420 rule citation. For other METRC states, FileFlo exports a document-format binder organized by document type (manifest, CoA, badge, SOP, license) but is not yet cite-indexed to the state's specific rule numbers. State-specific binder formatting is rolling out by Q3 2026.

Yes. FileFlo is designed to sit alongside operational ERPs, not replace them. Distru, Flowhub, Canix, Harvestry, GrowFlow, and Cova all handle the operational layer (orders, inventory, METRC sync, retail). FileFlo handles the document layer (audit-ready binders, retention enforcement, state-format exports). The two work together via shared document storage (Google Drive, Dropbox, SharePoint, OneDrive).

This page covers the multi-state landscape — which states have METRC-layer document support today, which have full rule packs (Michigan only currently), and which are out of scope (non-METRC states). The Michigan depth page at /solutions/cannabis-michigan is the deep dive for Michigan operators specifically: 11-category R 420 document matrix, RVT 90-day countdown, CRA Audit Pack export, R 420.501 retention enforcement.

Yes. Arizona ADHS is the next state-specific rule pack — fingerprint clearance cards, ADHS agent registration, dispensary inventory rules. California DCC, Colorado MED, and Massachusetts CCC follow. Operators in other METRC states get document-layer support today and can request prioritization of their state's rule pack.

Not today. FileFlo's document layer assumes METRC manifest PDFs as the canonical transfer record. Illinois (BioTrack) and Washington (Cova / proprietary state system) operators would need a different tooling approach. Cross-state operators with footprint in both METRC and non-METRC states should evaluate accordingly.

Starter: $89/month (100 documents/month, 3 users) — small operators or pre-revenue licensees. Professional: $299/month (unlimited documents, unlimited users, employee auto-detection, audit trail, project management) — most operating licensees. Annual pricing available with approximately 17% discount. No per-license, per-employee, or per-batch fees.

Yes. 5-day free trial with no credit card required. Includes the Michigan R 420 rule pack (full), METRC document layer (multi-state), employee badge tracking, and CoA storage with retention enforcement.

One business day. FileFlo connects to your existing folder structure (Google Drive, Dropbox, SharePoint, or OneDrive), classifies the documents automatically against the appropriate state rules (Michigan today) or document types (other METRC states), and produces a baseline gap report within 24 hours.
