Why This Differs In Cannabis

Cannabis forensic work has an advantage most industries do not: a government-mandated tracking system creating an independent record of product movement. Diversion that would be invisible in another business often leaves a trace in the variance between the tracking system and the ledger.

It also has a disadvantage โ€” cash transactions leave thinner trails, and reconstruction depends on physical controls and documentation that may not have existed.

The state tracking system often catches what would be invisible anywhere else.

Frequently Asked

Is this confidential?

Yes, and we can work through your attorney if privilege matters.

What if we are not sure anything happened?

A preliminary review can establish whether there is substance to the concern.

Can findings be used in court or an insurance claim?

Reports are prepared with that use in mind.
