Part 01 / INTRODUCTION
Before writing a procedure, say what it covers and who checks it. Keep the source link, version and review date together. This makes it easier for the next person to see why a decision was made.
The reference shelf
Eight short guides to records, growing claims, labels and store responsibilities. Open a topic for an introduction, a practice scenario and a source to read next.
Educational previews. Full operational SOPs and a completed Washington compliance review are not available. These guides do not provide cultivation or manufacturing instructions.

Part 01 / INTRODUCTION
Before writing a procedure, say what it covers and who checks it. Keep the source link, version and review date together. This makes it easier for the next person to see why a decision was made.
Part 02 / SCENARIO & RECORDS
Practice: a policy has no date or owner. List what is missing and who you would ask. Do not label it current until those details have been checked.
Suggested evidence: Task description; owner; source and review date.
Starting reference: Washington cannabis rules: Chapter 314-55 WAC

Learn how records connect an item to its stated origin.

Part 01 / INTRODUCTION
Provenance means the recorded origin and history of an item. A familiar variety name is not a full history. Follow the item’s identifier and the records attached to it.
Part 02 / SCENARIO & RECORDS
Practice: two records use different names for the same identifier. Keep both versions, flag the mismatch and ask the responsible person to resolve it.
Suggested evidence: Origin record; identifier; mismatch note.

Ask what a claim about place or growing practice means.

Part 01 / INTRODUCTION
Terroir is a word about the influence of place and local practice on a crop. Its formal reference here comes from wine growing. A cannabis claim still needs details about what was observed or done.
Part 02 / SCENARIO & RECORDS
Practice: a producer says “regenerative.” Ask which practices it means, what records describe them and whether anyone has checked the claim. The word alone does not answer those questions.
Suggested evidence: Claim; practice described; supporting source.

Match the report to the product before relying on it.

Part 01 / INTRODUCTION
Start with the sample and batch identifiers. Then read the dates, tests and results. A report answers questions about the sample and tests listed; it is not a promise about everything a product might contain.
Part 02 / SCENARIO & RECORDS
Practice: the report and product identifiers differ. Request a matching report. Record the gap instead of assuming the closest-looking document applies.
Suggested evidence: Batch number; report date; unresolved question.

Keep a process description separate from a quality claim.
Short learning preview · not an approved operating procedure
Part 01 / INTRODUCTION
A process name describes a method. A quality claim needs its own support. Use the word guide to distinguish solvents and physical separation, then ask which records describe the actual product.
Part 02 / SCENARIO & RECORDS
Practice: a team changes a written workflow but leaves the old review date. Ask who reviewed the change, what changed and which version should now be used.
Suggested evidence: Process description; revision date; reviewer.

Use the product’s actual label and the current rule.

Part 01 / INTRODUCTION
Open WAC 314-55-105 as a starting reference. Check the subsection that applies to the product type. Keep a copy of the label version you reviewed and the date of your review.
Part 02 / SCENARIO & RECORDS
Practice: two label drafts disagree. Identify the intended release version and check the source for the disputed wording. Record anything still unresolved.
Suggested evidence: Label version; applicable subsection; review note.

Make the next person’s part of the work understandable.

Part 01 / INTRODUCTION
A clear handoff identifies the item, the people involved and the date. It also carries forward open questions so they do not disappear when responsibility changes.
Part 02 / SCENARIO & RECORDS
Practice: a transfer note has a date but no recipient or matching identifier. List the missing information and ask the responsible person to complete the record.
Suggested evidence: Item identifier; sender; recipient; open questions.

Distinguish product standards, education and professional care.

Part 01 / INTRODUCTION
Medical product standards and professional credentials are different subjects. Start with the Department of Health references and Chapter 246-70 WAC when checking product standards. Do not treat a learning badge as a medical qualification.
Part 02 / SCENARIO & RECORDS
Practice: a learner calls themselves a medical cannabis consultant after a quiz. Explain what the quiz records and point them to the separate state certification requirements.
Suggested evidence: Product standard; credential source; referral.
