Interesting report highlighting METRC compliance issues.
It’d be interesting to learn whether the companies aren’t being good reporters or as I suspect in many cases METRC makes life incredibly hard and expensve for simple compliance especially for the smaller end of town.. It isn’t as though we haven’t heard these issues before in other states.
As the report says .
Most violations involved administrative and operational compliance rather than unsafe cannabis products or criminal activity.
Michigan’s Cannabis Regulatory Agency issued disciplinary actions against 16 licensed cannabis businesses in its May 2026 Disciplinary Action Report, with METRC seed-to-sale inventory tracking failures accounting for the largest share of violations cited from investigations completed during April.
The CRA cited eight businesses for METRC non-compliance, affecting licensees in Flint, Lansing, Walled Lake, Center Line, Chesaning, De Tour Village and River Rouge. METRC tracks every cannabis plant and product from cultivation through processing, transportation and retail sale, allowing regulators to verify inventory, investigate discrepancies and help prevent marijuana from entering the illicit market. Additional violations included general operational deficiencies, non-compliant sales, surveillance and security failures, employee compliance issues, Administrative Financial Statement deficiencies, improper transfers between licensed businesses, reporting failures and production violations.
Several businesses received multiple disciplinary actions stemming from the same investigation. Moneylineholdings Limited LLC in Chesaning received four separate actions covering METRC compliance, surveillance requirements, employee issues and unauthorized transfers between marijuana businesses, including one action that carried a license suspension. Royal Highness LLC in River Rouge was cited for general operational deficiencies, METRC compliance, reporting issues and surveillance violations. Palmate Solutions LLC in Jackson received citations for general operational issues and failure to report material changes to its licensed operations.
The enforcement actions covered adult-use retailers, growers, processors, safety compliance laboratories and medical marijuana licensees across twelve cities. Most violations involved administrative and operational compliance rather than unsafe cannabis products or criminal activity. The CRA publishes these monthly reports as part of its public transparency efforts and makes disciplinary documents available through its online cannabis license verification database.
