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

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

Inventory Tracking

State law (7 V.S.A. § 881(a)(1)(J))and Board rule (2.2.6) require that cannabis establishments track cannabis and cannabis products from seed to sale. All licensees should plan on submitting an inventory tracking report every two weeks, regardless of whether they've had a change in inventory or not.

Inventory Tracking Guidance

All licensees must use the inventory tracking forms available through the licensing portal:

http://vermont.force.com/vccb/s/

If licensees have questions about inventory tracking, please reach out to the Cannabis Control Board at CCB.Compliance@vermont.gov

Rules Waiver Request Process

Applicants may request that certain provisions of the CCB's rules be waived. The Board may approve such requests at its discretion, provided the requests do not conflict with any other state law, or pose a risk to public health, safety, or welfare.
