Integrated Cannabis Risk Management (ICRM)

An integrated cannabis risk management program is a comprehensive approach to identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks associated with the cultivation, sale, and possession of cannabis. Following these best practices can help ensure the success of an Integrated Cannabis Risk Management (ICRM) program:

Establish a risk management committee:

Create a committee of key stakeholders to oversee the development and implementation of the ICRM program. This committee should be responsible for setting risk tolerance levels and establishing risk management policies and procedures.

Develop a risk assessment process:
