Arizona has implemented new cannabis testing rules that take effect on November 1, 2020 requiring the testing of cannabis and cannabis products for potency and a wide range of contaminants. Though many companies already utilize some form of cannabis testing, this could be a big, and costly, change for many. 

The state created an advisory council to determine what cannabis testing must be done and the levels of contaminants that are considered safe. Their findings can be reviewed here. But we have listed them below as well. 

 Microbial Contamination

The final recommendations of the Council related to microbial contaminants are:

• All final products must be tested for E. coli prior to sale.
  • Products testing ≤100 CFU/g pass.
  • Products testing >100 CFU/g must be remediated or reprocessed as applicable and retested prior to sale.
• All final products must be tested for Salmonella. Samples with detectable Salmonella will fail and must be destroyed – no remediation possible.
• All inhaled products must either be:
  • Tested for Aspergillus flavus, fumigatus, niger, and terreus using molecular methods (PCR, qPCR, DNA microarrays, sequencing). Products ≤1 CFU pass and no further testing is required. If the result is >1 CFU, the product must be tested for mycotoxins using HPLC, ELISA, or an in-house developed method that is validated by AOAC Appendix J or K, as relevant, or other federal or international standards. Products testing ≥20µg/kg (ppm) mycotoxins fail and cannot be remediated.

OR

• Tested for mycotoxins using HPLC, ELISA, or an in-house developed method that is validated by AOAC Appendix J or K, as relevant, or other federal or international standards. Products testing ≥20µg/kg (ppm) mycotoxins fail and cannot be remediated.
• Microbial testing should be conducted using the Bacteriological Analytical Manual (FDA 2013a) and validated by AOAC Appendix J or K, as relevant, or other federal or international standards that meet the criteria

Heavy Metals

The final recommendations of the Council related to heavy metals are:

• Any edible or infused product made from concentrate that has previously passed safety testing is exempt from final testing for solvents, heavy metals, pesticides, fungicides, and growth regulators.
• All final products must be tested for heavy metals as listed below. Products at or below the values listed in the table may be sold.

• Heavy metals testing can be conducted using any national, international, or in-house developed method that is validated by AOAC Appendix K or other federal or international standards that meet the method criteria from EPA methods

Pesticides, Herbicides, Fungicides, Growth Regulators

The final recommendations of the Council related to pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and growth regulators are:

• Any edible or infused product made from concentrate that has previously passed safety testing is exempt from final testing for solvents, heavy metals, pesticides, fungicides, and growth regulators.
• All final products must be tested for pesticides, fungicides, and growth regulators listed in Table 2 within the Oregon Health Authority’s Technical Report (OHA 8964) .

Products at or below the values listed in the table may be sold.

• Pesticide, fungicide, herbicide, and growth regulator testing can be conducted using any national, international, or in-house developed method that is validated by AOAC Appendix K or other federal or international standards that meet the method criteria from EPA methods.

Residual Solvents

The final recommendations of the Council related to residual solvents are:

• Any edible or infused product made from concentrate that has previously passed safety testing is exempt from final testing for solvents, heavy metals, pesticides, fungicides, and growth regulators.
• All final extracted products must be tested for residual solvents referenced below.

Products at or below the values listed in the table may be sold.

• Residual solvent testing should be conducted using any EPA, AOAC, or in-house developed method that is validated by AOAC Appendix K or other federal or international standards that meet the EPA criteria.

Potency

The final recommendations of the Council related to potency are:

• All products must be tested for THC-A, Δ9-THC, CBD-A, CBD, and any label claims specific to cannabinoids.
• Total THC and CBD shall be reported as follows:
  • Total THC = (Δ9-THC + (THC-A x 87.7%))
  • Total CBD = (CBD + (CBD-A x 87.7%))
• Potency of all products must test +/- 20% of label claim or be repackaged to meet actual concentration.
• Potency reporting should include, at minimum:
  • For anything over 10% cannabinoid – one decimal place (i.e., to 12.3%)
  • For anything under 10% but above 0.1% – two decimal places (i.e., to 0.01%)
  • For anything under 0.01% – three decimal places (i.e., to 0.012%)
• For edibles, report potency in milligrams (mg) with two significant figures.
• Potency reporting should note that results are “below the level of quantitation” (< LOQ) when applicable.
• Potency testing can be conducted by AHP or in-house methods that are validated by AOAC Appendix K or other federal or international standards that meet the criteria.

Other Testing Standards

In addition to discussion regarding required testing for microbial contamination, heavy metals, pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, growth regulators, residual solvents, and potency, the Council discussed the value of recommending requirements for other kinds of testing. Items discussed included aflatoxins, total yeast and mold, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Listeria, toxigenic E. coli, other bacterial pathogens besides Salmonella, terpenes, water activity, and filth and foreign material. Ultimately, the Council decided against making recommendations regarding these items at this time, but approved a motion to reconvene in six and twelve months to reconsider many of these.

If you are an Adilas user you will be happy to know that the Adilas loyalty reward system was recently released. Companies that were utilizing a third party solution for their rewards program can now have a system that is fully integrated with their POS. This points based system will automatically issue points to a customer for each purchase they make. They can then redeem like cash when they are ready. 

Features and Benefits

• It is easy to set up. With just a few basic settings you can be using your new loyalty rewards system in a matter of minutes. 
• Settings allow for customization of your rewards program. Each company can make choices about their loyalty rewards system points that suit them, such as how many are earned or how much they are worth.
• It is easy to use. Once set up, learning how to integrate them into the point of sale process will be a breeze for employees. 
• It is fully integrated with Adilas. This means it is a part of the seed to sale system you are already using rather than having to figure out how to integrate a third party process into your point of sale process that may not connect with Adilas at all. 
• Employees can easily see a customer’s points in the shopping cart. This makes it easy to learn and easy to communicate the current points value to a customer.
• Points can be redeemed like cash. When the customer wishes to use their points they can be applied to an order the same way as any other payment method.
• Customers can see points on their receipt. Once a transaction is complete the customer will be able to see points transaction details on the receipt including their current balance. 
• Adjustments can be made manually. There may be situations points that weren’t earned through a normal purchase  need to be issued, such as for a customer service goodwill gesture. This is easily done by a manager with the correct permissions. 
• Easily report on points transactions. With the loyalty reporting tool, looking up or keeping tabs on loyalty rewards system transactions is simple.

In August, Weedmaps promised to eliminate California unlicensed cannabis retailer ads from its site. The announced deadline for this action was January 1, 2020. They seem to have met that goal though there is still some question as to whether they have done enough to keep these postings from appearing on their site. 

In a statement sent to Marijuana Business Daily, Weedmaps stated that “hundreds of our retail and brand partners” had provided state license numbers, but they did not offer details on how many ads were removed or how many California businesses are currently advertising on the site. “This was the right decision,” a Weedmaps spokesperson wrote to MJBizDaily. “However, the severe shortage of licenses in the state of California at the local level is real and will be detrimental to this industry at large.”

The numbers

According to a Sacramento-based consultant, Jackie McGowan, that spoke with Marijuana Business Daily, Weedmaps seems to have scrubbed its site of approximately 2,700 illicit marijuana shops and delivery services in California. She explained that on Dec. 31, there were 5,610 listings on Weedmaps in California for various marijuana retailers. By Jan. 3, that number had changed to 2,920.

California has 1,181 legal retailers, including licensed shops, delivery services and microbusinesses, although not all of the latter engage in retail. This indicates that Weedmaps could still be showing ads for up to 1,700 unlicensed marijuana retailers. McGowan suspects many of them are illicit dealers, but how many remains unclear. “They are semi-living up to their self-imposed mandate to remove these listings,” she said. “They are failing to conduct due diligence on the authenticity of license numbers unlicensed businesses are supplying to their site.”

An industry insider familiar with Weedmaps’ operations said “expecting listing numbers to match licensee numbers shows a fundamental misunderstanding of state regulations and Weedmaps.” “The same licensee often has multiple listings,” the source said, explaining that at least one company has “several hundred” listings and that doctors, CBD stores and other businesses are included in the count.

A problem

One way that illicit shops have found to keep their contact info on Weedmaps for customers to use is to publish state license numbers poached from legal companies and pass them off as their own. Another way that some shops have found, McGowan said, is to change the store name and to include keywords such as “hemp” or “CBD” to change the retailer’s profile.

Weedmaps states that it’s been addressing ads that mislead consumers but urges legal shops to contact the company if they find their license numbers are misused. Weedmaps also restated that its ads are self-published. “If an advertiser’s license information is flagged, we reach out to that advertiser to notify them of the discrepancy and request they review and correct any errors in their information,” a Weedmaps spokesperson wrote to Marijuana Business Daily. “If the advertiser does not take action to correct the information, they are removed from the platform upon completion of the review if they do not provide a valid license number.”

Reactions are mixed

The L.A.-based United Cannabis Business Association (UCBA), one of Weedmaps’ loudest industry critics, offered an olive branch when asked for comment by MJBizDaily. “We are glad to see that Weedmaps has begun working to remove unlicensed listings,” UCBA Executive Director Ruben Honig wrote in an emailed statement. “The removal of these shops … gives Weedmaps the opportunity to work as partners with Californians and the legal industry.” Adam Spiker, executive director of the L.A.-based Southern California Coalition, said he’s “going to take them (Weedmaps) at their word and hope for the best.” “I hope … they were true to their word. Because it will help the legal industry, and it can use all the help it can get. It’s dying,” Spiker said.

Though Weedmaps has made efforts, McGowan feels state regulators should take a stronger stance against the company and its advertising policies due to a law that took effect last summer authorizing the Bureau of Cannabis Control (BCC) to fine companies such as Weedmaps up to $30,000 a day per violation.

The BCC entered into the Weedmaps fight in 2018 by sending the company a cease-and-desist letter regarding its advertising for unlicensed marijuana companies. Weedmaps claimed protection under federal law, and, since then, state regulators have taken no action, even though they now have the power to collect large fines. This was established last summer by Assembly Bill 97, and can apply to any unlicensed company that the BCC deems to be engaged in commercial cannabis activity.

BCC communications chief Alex Traverso wrote in an emailed statement on Jan. 2 to MJBizDaily: “If the state finds that Weedmaps advertises illicit operators, then it will be treated like any other enforcement action. The Bureau does not provide comment regarding ongoing investigations.”

The cannabis industry is highly regulated and so it should come as no surprise to learn that cannabis inventory audits will be an essential part of your standard operating procedures. Inventory audits are just one component of inventory management but may be one of the most important. This remains true whether you are a dispensary, cultivation, manufacturing, or distribution business. 

Prepare

Depending on your seed-to-sale software and individual circumstances, there are a number of ways in which a cannabis inventory audit can be performed. As a result, it is important to have a good plan of attack. This is the stage where you might print out your inventory list and plan what order to count things in. Break the project into bite size pieces. For instance, you can plan to focus on counting inventory in one location at a time. 

Count

Counting the inventory can be more difficult than you might think. It can be easy to lose your place and have to start over. Focus on following your plan. Be efficient but don’t rush. Keep diligent records of each item counted as you go. You may experience some frustration at first but you will get faster as your knowledge grows and you gain confidence. 

Update 

Once the counting is done you will need to update your seed-to-sale system to match the counted numbers. It is important that your seed-to-sale system match your actual inventory numbers so this should be done immediately before inventory numbers change. 

Report

Keep records of your inventory audits and adjustments. It is the law, you know? Cannabis businesses, like all businesses, that hold inventory are required to maintain detailed and accurate inventory records for tax purposes.

Did you know Adilas integrates with a number of solutions created by third parties to enhance your experience? API solutions provide functionality above and beyond Adilas’ out of the box experience. 

What is API? 

API is defined as “a set of functions and procedures allowing the creation of applications that access the features or data of an operating system, application, or other service.” Basically that means, once the connection is made, additional features and options will be available. This allows your data to work harder for you. 

What kinds of solutions are offered? 

Payment solutions 

Payment processing is always a challenge in the cannabis industry. Fortunately, there are several solutions available for payment processing. One notable option is Hypur who offers the option for cashless transactions at the point of sale. 

Government tracking 

Some states require that a cannabis business use their chosen software to track and report data to the state. Adilas integrates with major government tracking systems such as METRC and Leaf Data. This means that you only have to enter your cannabis tracking data into your Adilas  instead of having to enter it in two systems separately. 

Analytics  

Adilas provides a robust reporting platform but wouldn’t you love help determining what all that data means and how it can be put to work? The Headspace integration provides advanced reporting and analytical functionality for those who want to get more from their reporting. 

Resupply 

Some solutions monitor your inventory levels and prompt you when it is time to reorder items such as packaging materials. Greenstock is a great example of this solution. 

Email and text marketing 

Text and email marketing are essential due to stringent restrictions on how a cannabis business can. Full Circle provides a solution that allows you to stay in communication with your customers. Not only do they provide text and email options, but they also provide a number of other features that will enhance the customer experience.

Web Marketing 

Integrations for web marketing will save you loads of time. Leafly, Baker, and Iheartjane will all automatically show your current inventory once connected.

The cannabis industry comes with challenges in a lot of areas but one big challenge is marketing. Though it varies depending on location, the roadblocks to traditional marketing options are numerous. 

Commonly implemented restrictions include: 

• Advertising marijuana products within a specific distance of a school or area where children often spend time.
• Television, radio, or print ads.
• Advertising on public or private vehicles.
• Marketing to children, including using toys, inflatables, cartoon characters, etc.
• Mascots (human, animal, or mechanical such as inflatable tubes, people in costumes, or sign spinners).
• Billboard advertising (some states make an exception for marijuana retailers).
• Indoor advertisements unless minors are not permitted in the facility.
• Advertising in arenas, stadiums, state fairs, shopping malls, arcades, and farmers markets.
• Packaging and labeling information, colors and branding information. 

In addition, ads must likely include text that says marijuana products can only be purchased by people who are 21 years of age or older as well as other required warnings. With all these restrictions, the prospect of cannabis marketing can seem dismal. 

Fortunately, with some creativity, there are solutions. 

• Website – You probably already have one, but if not, then this is your most important piece of the marketing puzzle. It’s how customers find you and your products. 
• SEO (Search engine optimization) – Make sure that your website is optimized as this will drive traffic directly to your website. Get as many eyes on your content as possible.
• Social Media – Although there are many rules to follow, this is another great way to get your name and content circulating. 
• Digital advertising on marijuana friendly websites – Some websites specialize in helping customers find cannabis retailers. Make sure your name comes up when they search! Examples of this are Leafly.com and iHeart Jane.
• Old fashioned word of mouth – With good customer service and products, word will spread and bring in new customers. 
• Text messaging – There are many platforms available that allow you to send text message marketing to your existing customers. This allows you to notify them about specials and new products. 
• Email – Much like text messaging, there are many possible ways to manage email marketing campaigns to your customers. 
• Local community service, advocacy, educational seminars, and sponsorships – This is a great way to not only get your company name out there but also to establish your company as a contributing part of the community.

It is likely you have seen a digital menu board, maybe in a restaurant or dispensary. They are a great way to communicate with customers, especially if you have a “menu” that changes frequently. 

Earlier this year we published a blog post on the subject. In this article we will go into more detail. 

1. Entertain and inform customers while they wait.

Obviously, a digital menu board is informative but it also gives customers something to look at while they wait for their turn with the budtender. Sometimes waiting can be hard but having something to concentrate on will help the time pass faster. 

2. Easier to update than other methods. 

When considering in store options for informing your customers about what you have available, think about how much time and energy are involved when changes are needed. Other options for informing customers when they are in store include things like chalkboards or paper menus. How much work would go into updating those items on a daily basis?

3. More opportunities for marketing and branding.

Digital Menu boards provide another great avenue for including branding and marketing messages. Since they are highly customizable, many different methods could be used to catch and keep the customer’s attention.  

4. Changes to the menu can be implemented quickly.

A digital menu board can generally be updated very quickly, saving you time needed for other important tasks. A few quick clicks and your updates are done!

5. Some can integrate with your POS. 

Some digital menu board options will integrate with your POS system. This makes updating inventory a breeze and save loads of time since it will update to show your live inventory.

We can help!

Whether you need a digital menu board that integrates with your POS, or a seed to sale POS software system that includes digital menu board options, we have you covered. Contact us today to discuss your cannabis business needs with an expert!

What is 280E?

26 U.S. Code Section 280E is the federal statute that states that a business engaging in the trafficking of a Schedule I or II controlled substance such as cannabis is barred from taking tax deductions or credits. Basically, cannabis entrepreneurs must pay taxes on all of their revenue without the benefit of being able to use business expenses to reduce their taxable income.

Cost of Goods Sold

When Congress passed Section 280E, it added an exclusion that allowed a deduction for the cost of goods sold even where the goods are illegal under federal law. “Costs of goods sold” (COGS) essentially means inventory costs, including the cost of the product, the cost to ship it in and any directly related expenses.

Even though COGS are allowed, the IRS applies its definition more strictly to cannabis companies. For example, the use of tax changes that allow more indirect costs to be included in costs of goods sold is not allowed because those were made after Section 280E went into effect. This means that cannabis companies may not be able to use the same accounting methods as other businesses, which could result in less favorable treatment by the IRS.

Working around 280E

Accountants for cannabis companies are getting around Section 280E with smart business structuring by dividing the business into two separate companies. Mostly, this allows for better COGS tracking.

The first business is directly responsible for producing and distributing cannabis and files a tax return without the deductions barred by Section 280E while the second business holds any activities that are legal under federal law and would not trigger Section 280E. This might include care services, selling ancillary products or owning and managing the building that the cannabis business operates in. The second business files a tax return claiming all ordinary deductions.

The result is that the two companies pay fewer taxes than if they operated as a combined company entirely subject to Section 280E.

Is this loophole legal?

The two-business strategy has been upheld in federal court. The most notable case is CHAMP v. Commissioner.

In CHAMP and other cases, two cannabis-related businesses operated in close coordination — one with the federally illegal activities and one with the legal activities. These businesses worked with their tax and legal advisers to create a solid legal structure and then used immaculate record keeping to prove that they were operating as they stated. They had two clearly distinct businesses.

Don’t forget the states

Section 280E has created a clearer federal set of rules for cannabis businesses, but many states that have legalized marijuana are taking a different position than the federal government when it comes to tax deductions. Some states will even allow you to deduct your full business expenses, a benefit for entrepreneurs, but one that adds additional complications. Some states allow or require states to operate as non for profit organizations. Which has its own set of tax implications.

In short, Section 280E severely restricts what deductions cannabis companies may take as they must pay full income taxes. However, careful (and legal!) accounting can separate cannabis activities from unrestricted activities so that the taxpayer can claim some federal deductions. This is even before you consider state taxes and their unique deduction rules.

On Tuesday, September 24th, Massachusetts Governor, Charles D. Baker, issued a declaration stating that a public health emergency exists due to severe lung disease associated with “vaping”. As a result, they have banned the sale of all “vaping products” for four months. 

Responding to the hundreds of vaping health concerns, governors in Michigan, New York and Rhode Island have also rapidly moved to ban flavored e-cigarettes or all vaping products. Officials from several other states are considering similar steps.

Though it is commendable that they are trying to address the so-called “Vape Crisis” the manner in which they have gone about it is poorly worded and ill-informed. 

From the Governor’s declaration:

“WHEREAS, vaping products use an e-liquid that may contain nicotine, THC and/or cannabinoid oils, in addition to a combination of flavoring, propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, and other ingredients and may also contain toxic chemicals such as f01maldehyde, acrolein, acrylonitrile, propylene oxide, crotonaldehyde and acetaldehyde, as well as metal particles such as nickel, lead, and chromium, which can be inhaled into the lungs;” 

From the Public Health Commissioner’s announcement: 

“Vaping products” means:

1. Any product intended for human consumption by inhalation regardless of nicotine content, whether for one-time use or reusable, that relies on vaporization or aerosolization, including but not limited to electronic cigarettes, electronic cigars, electronic cigarillos, electronic pipes, electronic vaping product delivery pens, hookah pens, and any other similar devices that rely on vaporization or aerosolization; and
2. Any component, part, or accessory of a product or device defined in subsection 1), even if sold separately. 

Why is this a problem?

1. It is too general and confusing. The ban could be interpreted a number of different ways since one can “vape” marijuana flower and any marijuana concentrate.
2. The ban should focus on the additives which we know are causing the problem. It ignores the fact that many experts have already concluded through research that vaping is safer than smoking.
3. Fear Mongering – When considering the number of deaths caused by tobacco cigarets, pharmaceuticals or other consumer products, a small amount of people have become ill. The response does not match the scope of the concern. 

Who benefits?

1. The “Illicit Market” – Where will customers and patients turn when they can’t get the products they rely on legally? This ban drives people to the non regulated or “street market” which is where subject matter experts believe the product is coming from.
2. “Big Pharmaceutical ” – Many patients use marijuana to help them get away from prescriptions and may be forced to go back if they can’t get what they need. 
3. “Big Tobacco” – Consumers who vape natural herbs will end up turning back to tobacco and nicotine products. 

Research shows us vaping is safer than smoking, when done right.

Who does this hurt?

1. The entire marijuana industry is negatively impacted by this ban. Legalization is still relatively new and is now threatened by the very general language in this ban. 
2. Smoke shops don’t just sell marijuana paraphernalia. They sell a significant amount of vaping products and supplies and will be at risk without that income.  
3. Medical Marijuana Patients who can’t or shouldn’t smoke often rely on vaping as an alternative. Patients will be forced to go without or resort to other methods to obtain needed medicine.  
4. Consumers of both marijuana and nicotine will be unable to participate in methods that may have kept them cigarette free. As stated above, they will either have to go without or resort to other, possibly shifty, methods to obtain needed products. 

What would we suggest?

We know that the illnesses have been linked to additives and not the act of vaping itself. As a result, we should ensure that vaping products are legalized, regulated and tested. We should warn consumers of the dangers of purchasing from an unlicensed source. Licensed businesses should be required to test their products and comply with bans on specific ingredients. More testing also needs to be done to identify the specific ingredient(s) causing the issue. 

The cannabis industry has done a great job of implementing regulations surrounding quality controls. Seed to sale tracking, testing, and labeling requirements all contribute to consumer safety. The government should be looking at cannabis business solutions as a guide to researching and analyzing (understanding) the current vaping health concerns.
