The Liquor and Cannabis Board (LCB) has simplified the state’s traceability system to reflect the growth and maturation of the cannabis industry and in preparation for the future. The LCB and industry transitioned off the former Leaf Data Systems platform to a simplified, data-reporting platform developed and maintained in-house called Cannabis Central Reporting System (CCRS).
Access the Cannabis Central Reporting System (CCRS) here.
The CCRS system was updated on Jan. 9, 2023. Please only use the updated documentation provided on the CCRS Resources page for reporting.
CCRS Background
Beginning in 2019, LCB staff worked closely and collaboratively with stakeholders that included producers, processors, retailers, integrators, labs and others to identify the future state of traceability. That work was part of the LCB Board’s Cannabis 2.0 initiative.
Simplified and More Flexible
CCRS is a simplified, reporting solution that incorporates ideas and concepts from the Cannabis 2.0 stakeholder workgroup. Key benefits of system include:
- Simpler. Reduces complexity of reporting which reduces margin for error
- More flexible. Licensees perceive the framework to be more flexible for operational efficiencies; and
- Potential of lower costs for compliance. Licensees may see a reduction in business and compliance costs.
Stakeholders are Aware
The LCB is committed to communicating with licensees, labs and integrators throughout the process. Users have opportunity along the way to ask questions and provide input. Licensees and commercial integrators were valuable in testing and providing feedback as CCRS was developed and deployed. Feedback from system users is also leading to changes to improve speed and ease of use.
