If you plan on putting your cannabis dispensary on WeedMart, yes. You have to have a license to join. 
If you are not selling cannabis, then you do not. 

The Short answer is No.
But it is important to understand why.

Real-time updates with seed to sale tracking systems have been proposed by many different cannabis companies as a way to provide customers with accurate information about the products they are purchasing. While these systems may seem like a good idea in theory, they could actually end up being a bad idea in practice.

One of the biggest issues with real-time updates with seed to sale tracking systems is the potential for security risks. If a company is tracking the sale and movement of cannabis products in real-time, it means that the data is constantly being accessed and updated. This could leave the system vulnerable to hackers, who could use the data to access and manipulate the system or steal customer information.

Furthermore, these systems have the potential to be very expensive to operate, due to the cost of maintaining and updating the software which only drives up consumer cost (YOU).

Another issue with real-time updates with seed to sale tracking systems is the potential for inaccurate data. If a company is tracking the sale and movement of cannabis products in real-time, any mistakes or inaccuracies, or API communication outages (which happen frequently across all S2S vendors we evaluated) when sending the data means the data could never arrive to the S2S Tracking System due to an outage on their end leaving you processing transactions and becoming out of compliance. Which can be costly, For example:

In California a first offence infraction caused by being out of compliance is a 7 day suspension of your license with a fine equal to 50% of your average daily revenue multiplied by the number of days your license is suspended. This means if your dispensary makes 10k/day on average and due to a API communication outage with the S2S tracking Server when you get audited by your states regulators for a discrepancy in your data. You will be fined 35k and have to close your business for a week. Eeeeek.

We cannot in good conscience promote and integrate at this time Real Time S2S sync due to the instability or frequency of updates that cause you the customer to become vulnerable to fines in the event that 3rd party S2S system were to have an outage or publish updates without communication with it’s ISVs.

Therefore we feel the only way to protect you the customer, and give you a cost affordable solution is to provide you with the ability to export your data from the system and import the file each night when conducting your end of day operations. While this is an additional step it is the only surefire way to ensure that your transactions are 100% accurate when uploading to the system, while also enabling you to correct any POS or transaction issues before uploading the data so you don’t have to compare reporting or make adjustments in the S2S systems which can trigger an audit.

Overall, real-time updates with seed to sale tracking systems may seem like a good idea in theory, but in practice they could end up being a very bad & costly idea in execution. The potential for security risks, inaccurate data, compliance concerns, and customer confusion and frustration could end up being detrimental to a company’s success and here at WeedMart we want you to be successful. It is for these reasons, WeedMart sticks with traditional methods of tracking the sale and movement of cannabis products utilizing the companies CSV import feature to enable our customers to upload the sales & transactional data.
