In Connecticut, cannabis is regulated by the Department of Consumer Protection (DCP). Medical and adult-use cannabis are allowed.
Connecticut uses a combination of Biotrack and PMP for their state traceability systems. Sales must be logged in both systems. PMP must be utilized by stores to understand a patient’s current allotment. Biotrack additionally tracks inventory.
Sales are currently limited to 1/4 ounce of cannabis flower, or its equivalent, per transaction.
A dispensary may dispense a portion of a patient's monthly limit, not to exceed 5 oz of cannabis.
This is the formula the state has provided for the calculation of flower equivalence for the entire market:
Gram equivalency=(total mg of total THC/250)+(total of mg non-THC cannabinoids/500)
Potency tax
Adult use cannabis is also subject to state sales tax. Municipalities may additionally tax up to 3%.
Medical cannabis is not subject to any tax.
Delivery may be conducted for patients and consumers.
Delivery operations in Connecticut are only allowed to carry inventory for their current deliveries.
