It also establishes their expertise in dispensary agent duties, which covers a spectrum from mastering Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to adopting methods for diversion detection and the prevention of cannabis theft.  Security protocols, cannabis pharmacology, its key compounds, potential drug interactions, and related safety challenges will also be explored in this certification.

Learners will uncover the following topics: Knowledge about product packaging and labeling emphasizes the criticality of compliant presentation and labeling in line with regulatory directives. Strategies for the prevention and detection of diversion are highlighted to ensure cannabis products reach the targeted audience while minimizing potential diversion scenarios.

Attaining this certification ensures adherence to the compliance standards as set forth by the OCM. Recognizing the dynamic nature of the cannabis industry, the certification is crafted with an emphasis on continuous learning. Hence, licensed dispensaries in New York are obligated to have their staff undergo this training on an annual basis.
