Alaska legalized cannabis for adult use in a citizen’s initiative on the November 4th 2014 ballot. The initiative directed the newly formed Marijuana Control Board to adopt regulatory guidelines for commercial marijuana establishments and mandated the new agency account for sales and exchanges within the newly legalized market. Growers, manufacturers, and retailers would have to be licensed and registered. The Marijuana Control Board contracted Metrc in 2016 to assist the state in regulating the market. Owing to its success in managing and regulating Alaska’s emerging cannabis industry, the state of Alaska renewed Metrc’s contract for another five years in 2021.
