Green Check also launched Green Check Access, a unified cannabis API, in the fall of 2023. This offering provides a suite of integrations and normalized data, unlocking actionable insights for the cannabis industry while enabling CannaTech and Multi-State Operators (MSOs) to create more customized experiences for their customers.
