The Responsible Cannabis Agent
The Responsible Cannabis Agent program directly matches these DOR requirements.

In addition to the three (3) hours of training provided by MDOR and METRC; each dispensary is responsible for providing the remaining five (5) hours of initial training in the form of on-site, hands-on direction and guidance that must, at a minimum, cover the following topics:

  • Proper handling of cannabis products.
  • Proper storage of cannabis products.
  • Security requirements relating to the sale of cannabis products.
  • Maximum MMCEU sales per patient.
  • Carding techniques.
  • Restrictions on providing medical advice and.
  • Other miscellaneous topics dealing with maintaining compliance with the facilities obligations as a licensed Mississippi medical cannabis dispensary..

Each dispensary employee will need to be provided with five (5) hours of training on these subjects prior to beginning work at that dispensary. If they are a new work permittee, these five (5) hours would be applied towards his or her initial eight (8) hours. If the individual is simply a new employee, but has worked elsewhere, this five (5) hours would go towards their annual five (5) hours of training.

Each worker will be required to sign off on an attestation prior to working at a dispensary confirming that they have met the initial eight (8) hour training requirement. This can include any training received at other dispensaries to initially meet the eight (8) hour requirement. The training does not have to be dispensary-specific. Workers will be required to sign off on an attestation confirming they have received the annual five (5) hours of training by the dispensary. The dispensary may use the same training as provided to new hires or take a more advanced approach, so long as the training meets the criteria listed above.

Dispensaries must maintain a copy of these attestations in their personnel files for each employed work permittee subject to review by ABC agents.

The ANSI-accredited certificate program is based on FOCUS International published standards for medical and adult-use cannabis facilities.
