What’s the best way to be forward thinking about any potential changes to the cannabis laws in Indiana?
Stay up to date on laws, legislation and decriminalization. Most states with legal cannabis and recreational marijuana have specific license types such as: Grow/Cultivation, Medical or Adult Recreational use license applications. The process for licensees typically involves a business plan, Standard operation procedures (SOPs) as well as a Security Plan and/or floor plan. Many security requirements are based on the DEA Compliant and Federal DEA 21 CFR 1301.72 standards for security and must create protocols for the diversion of cash / currency and product or plants.
Standard Operation Procedures (SOPs) & Protocols for Safety and Diversion
Marijuana dispensaries and cannabis facilities utilize specific protocols to meet state law compliance for diversion as well as the reporting of sales and more. Examples of state reporting systems include BioTrackTHC and Metrc, these are considered the industry standards for reporting.
Additional SOPs include the safety and security of a facility, both the exterior and interior, for employees, patients and customers. If Indiana legislation for legalization changes, you need to be prepared in advance.
Cash and currency require specific operational procedures to deter the diversion and theft. Applications and security plans include sections regarding an applicants plans for monitoring and reporting cash to the state.
Restricted areas within a cannabis facility or dispensary require restricted access to marijuana plants, flower, and products during operating hours and after hours. A holistic security plan for an applicant generally requires keynotes of vaults, vaults rooms and restricted areas.
Entrances / exits and limited access areas, from a safety and security standpoint, have protocols for how and when they are open, as well as who has access. Examples include, the retail sales vs. shipping and receiving of cannabis product area. Motion sensors, panic buttons and more are necessary to ensure law enforcement, fire fighters and authorities are part of a holistic coverage plan.
Security technology is a vital component of any security plan and application. In today’s tech world, intelligent network IP based surveillance systems have the ability to monitor and record total coverage of a facility and the building perimeters. Some states require high-resolution megapixel cameras that have the ability to provide clear images of faces and vehicles. Additionally, security plans should take into consider the storage, handling and destruction of cannabis for correct monitoriing.
