How do Marijuana Dispensaries, Medical Centers, Growers, Processors, Wholesalers, Researchers, and Retailers use ID Card Programs?

The history of legalizing marijuana goes back several years in the United States, including California’s 1996 Proposition 215, or Compassionate Use Act that protected seriously ill residents from criminal prosecution. Since then over 25 states have created Medical Marijuana Programs for ill patients although specific laws and regulations vary by state and it remains a federally controlled substance.

More recently, several states have passed additional legislation to allow recreational marijuana use. This is a new market with laws and restrictions varying by state, county, and even city – AlphaCard does not provide legal advice for growers and sellers in these states, but will work with your legal marijuana business to provide complete ID card programs.

Benefits of Marijuana Card Programs

An ID card program at your medical marijuana center, grow facility, or retail storefront can help improve security and increase efficiency:

• Issuing custom medical marijuana cards allows you to quickly identify authentic cards versus fake IDs or cards that were tampered with or altered
• Custom ID cards also reduce fraud and misuse of cards to gain access to marijuana
• Retail membership cards help you store and quickly access customer records to speed up checkout times and reduce lines

Common ID Card Programs

As more states continue to vote for recreational marijuana laws and laws in current states go into effect, the requirements of sellers will continue to change. Common uses for ID card programs can include:

• Medical marijuana user ID cards, issued by these state-run programs
• Employee ID cards, to help improve to security of your business
• Product display cards for durable cards with the legally required information including the potency, serving size or number of servings, chemicals used in cultivation, or safety warnings
• Plant tags, with important plant strain information – these PVC cards and tags can withstand water and dirt without smudging, unlike paper labels or tags
• Access control cards for entry into the building or restricted areas including labs and grow room
• Customer loyalty cards for your store’s customers
• Unique business cards to hand out to your customers or at industry and networking events

How do Medical Marijuana Centers, Growers, and Sellers use ID Card Systems?

Medical Identification CardsIn states with medical marijuana programs, qualified members are required to be registered and have an authorized identification card. PVC identification cards are durable, long-lasting, and designed for high-quality photos and text. In addition, many ID cards include a variety of security measures to prove their authenticity.
Read MoreInformational & Display CardsPVC cards can also be used as informational and display cards, providing customers with additional information about your products and offerings. With their durable PVC material, these cards can be used in retail store display cases without worry about damage to the cards from water or dirt from plants or frequent handling by customers while clearly displaying the required information about labeling including the potency, types of chemicals used in cultivation, and other information.
Read MoreStaff IDProper identification in a company setting is a key component of maintaining secure operations, particularly visual identification. ID cards can be worn by employees at all times as well as by temp workers. Typically, ID cards are worn on badge reels or lanyards by the employee and should be highly visible to managers and building secure personnel.
Read MoreTime and AttendanceFor time management of hourly employees, we recommend time and attendance ID cards. These kinds of cards keep track of when the person clocks in and clocks out for accurate weekly hour reports. Time and attendance often use magnetic stripes or barcodes that are scanned by a reader and integrated with tracking software.
Read MoreAccess ControlMany small businesses, large corporations, and companies use access control cards to limit entry to certain areas of the building. This extra layer of security helps deter unauthorized individuals from attempting to gain access to these sensitive areas. An access control card is a sure-fire way to prevent unauthorized persons such as intruders from gaining entry to restricted areas and compromising security.
Read MoreMultifunctional & Smart CardsEmployee ID cards server a much greater purpose than simple photo identification. Many companies are utilizing data storage technologies (e.g. barcodes & magnetic stripe cards) to monitor important data of their employees such as their status, position, and the date they started working. Additionally, Smart cards have become a common type of technology employed by companies and can be used as access control cards.
Read MoreBusiness CardsLet’s face it – many of today’s business cards are flimsy and easily tear, especially when crammed inside a wallet. For almost all workers and employees, it’s necessary to have a high-quality business card to hand out at networking events, to friends & family members, and to acquaintances. PVC business cards are sturdy, meant to last, and are the perfect solution for a long-lasting business card.
