Blue rectangular labels are visible on the lids of three chest freezers. Euphoric Life's account is that the small tag on the rear freezer is a Metrc UID barcode tag on Freezer 9 (the concentrates) and that the blue tape on the two nearer lids carried UID numbers and weights written by hand; the photograph is not clear enough to read any of them. DCC's report says the freezers "did not have blue CCTT [California Cannabis Track-and-Trace] Metrc tags on the outside of the freezer door."https://img.cannabisbusinesstimes.com/mindful/transpire/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/10/newsystem-withoriginaltag.6Rj4V0ogsR.png?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70In Euphoric Life's new system, original UID tags maintain place with documents logging a lifetime of production and movement of batches in safe secure locations, while the actual product contains photocopied tags.https://img.cannabisbusinesstimes.com/mindful/transpire/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/10/photocopied-uid-tags-on-jars-cropped.LTqT9HJlRn.jpg?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70This photo of jars containing cannabis concentrate on the manufacturing-side shelving of Euphoric Life’s facility shows photocopied Metrc tags applied during the Department of Cannabis Control’s April 29, 2025, site visit.

The DCC embargoed this product, inventorying it at 50.8 pounds. Euphoric Life contends it has the source manifests, sourcing dates and Metrc weight of 50.66 pounds to show this specific product batch was logged in the track-and-trace system and fell within the state's 5% discrepancy weight allowance.https://img.cannabisbusinesstimes.com/mindful/transpire/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/10/dcc-untagged.K8PfqU237I.png?auto=format%252Ccompress&q=70Depicted here is the DCC's handwritten description of the Freezer 1 product that regulators placed under embargo during their April 2025 site visit.
