Dutchie strives to provide you with our best interpretation of the publicly released guidance. Licensees are responsible for their own compliance with state rules and regulations. If you have specific questions or concerns, please reach out to your state regulators directly.
Q: Will the state require two licenses for medical and recreational?
- No, per Maryland regulators, retailers with hybrid licenses will operate under 1 license.
Q: Will retailers need to separate their online menus for medical and recreational in Maryland?
- Since retailers will be operating under the same license (but now as a hybrid license), no separation of inventory is necessary. A single menu and switching customer profiles should work fine.
Q: How will POS retailers specify whether a customer is medical vs recreational?
- A new "Recreational" customer type will be required for retailers.
- See the "Add Recreational Customer Type" tutorial for more information.
- For both Medical and Recreational customers, the dropdown fields should say "show"
Q: Will POS retailers need to change their tax setup?
- Yes, a new 9% tax will need to be configured for recreational sales. See set tax rates and purchase limits for more information.
- When setting up this tax, be sure to set the Tax type to Sales to ensure your tax collection data is reported to Metrc. The default setting (None) will not report your taxes to Metrc as required.
Q: When setting up the new sales tax, should it be tied to customer type?
- “Recreational” should be the customer type for this new sales tax. You should also double check the customer types of the current taxes setup in your backoffice.
- See the "Add Recreational Customer Type" tutorial for more information.
- For both Medical and Recreational customers, the dropdown fields should say "show"
- See set tax rates and purchase limits for more information.
Q: What reports can retailers run from Dutchie Backoffice?
- Check out the different types of reports you can run by clicking the help center article Dutchie Backoffice Reports.
Q: Any special considerations for manufacturers or cultivators?
- The following items for cultivation and manufacturing facilities must be tracked and recorded directly in Metrc at this time:
- Additives and ingredients tracking related to marijuana plants and products
- All testing actions
