In Metrc:
Mark Cannabis as "Donation" by the Package within Metrc.
This designation applies to the whole package, so be sure to first split the package in Meadow if you only want some of its units to be designated for compassion.
Splitting a package must be done ONLY within Meadow, not in Metrc.
NOTE: If a package has already been marked for compassion purposes by a previous licensee, you can only use it for compassion. If they marked the package for compassion, they must provide you with written documentation certifying the medical designation at the time of the transfer.
In Meadow:
Create a Compassion Discount
Create a discount with the name "Compassion" or "Medical Donation" for 100% off (Settings --> Discounts --> Create Discount).
Verify Patient's ID and Physician's Recommendation
Any time you give away free cannabis for compassion, make sure you verify that the recipient has both a valid government-issued ID (e.g. drivers license, state ID, passport) and a valid California recommendation or MMIC.
For physician's recommendations, you must verify the issuing doctor has a license in good standing with the Medical Board of California.
Verifying a customer as medical in Meadow will retain a written record as required by regulation.
Process & Record the Order Through Meadow POS
When processing a compassion donation for a patient, apply the 100% off discount at the point-of-sale.
Make sure the verified profile is attached.
Keep a record of the donation and the documentation in your records for 7 years.
Medical daily purchase limits apply.
