Ala. Admin. Code r. 80-14-1-.17 - Statewide Seed-To-Sale Tracking System And Chain Of Custody

(1) Cultivators and Integrated Facilities must enter all transactions into the statewide seed-to-sale tracking system operated by the AMCC. At a minimum, these transactions must include the inventory of cannabis plants in the cultivation facility, the location of the cannabis when it leaves the cultivation facility, and the documentation showing any plants or cannabis material that were destroyed and disposed of at the cultivation facility.

(2) Cultivators and Integrated Facilities must ensure that they can account for all cannabis plants and other materials that have ever been in the custody or control of the Cultivator or Integrated Facility, at all times from planting to disposal or from planting to such time as a medical cannabis product is dispensed through a dispensary or Integrated Facility dispensary site.

(3) As part of its Operations Plan, a Cultivator or Integrated Facility must submit a plan to show a continuous chain of custody protocol for all cannabis plants and cannabis material. At a minimum, the chain of custody protocol must ensure that at any time, no fewer than two employees of the Cultivator or Integrated Facility are responsible for the location and security of all cannabis plants or related materials within the custody or control of the Cultivator or Integrated Facility. As with other operations protocols provided to and approved by the Commission and the Department, Cultivators and Integrated Facilities may not alter their chain-of-custody protocols, without first receiving written permission from the AMCC and the Department.
