Adult Use Employee ID Card Process

All cannabis establishment employees must have an Employee ID card awarded to them through the CCB. Applications for ID cards are submitted through the same portal as full business licenses. That link is included again below:

Employee ID card applicants must submit to a record check. This guidance document will help you complete that process.

Applicants for ID cards with questions should contact the CCB at the same information as full business applicants: CCB.Applications@vermont.gov or 802-828-1010, ext. 1

Product Registration

All cannabis and cannabis products must be registered with the CCB prior to sale in Vermont.

Please use the CCB Portal to register all products: http://vermont.force.com/vccb/s/

Registration Guidance Documents

• Product Registration Status Flowchart
• Product Registration Video
• Product Labeling Guidance
• Product Packaging Guidance
• Bulk Flower Registration Guidance

Cannabis products (edibles, tinctures, concentrates, etc...) must be in opaque and child-resistant packaging. Cannabis (flower, trim, pre-rolls) is not required to be in child-resistant packaging. The packaging for cannabis need only be child deterrent, and does not have to be opaque. Please refer to this one-pager for more information on child-resistance vs. deterrence.

Questions on product registration should be directed to CCB.Products@vermont.gov
