The tag shall remain affixed for the entire life of the plant until disposal.

C. Cannabis shall be continuously and properly tagged (individually or as packages) at all stages of production, including all cultivation phases and/or production steps.

3. If any cannabis and/or cannabis products are removed from a wholesale package, each individual unit or new wholesale package shall be separately tagged.

4.11.5 All locations related to the commercial production of cannabis and cannabis products shall be distinguishable in the statewide seed-to-sale system.
