The Cannabis Control Board has been made aware of several incidents of alleged fraud involving fake adult-use cannabis retailers.

These fake listings use online search engines and mapping to list a cannabis establishment that does not actually exist. This scam operates by accepting online orders on a website, sending consumers to a false location after their money has already been taken. These fake business listings have appeared throughout the State of Vermont. 

The CCB understands the important role that 4/20 plays in celebrating cannabis.

Please take note of these important reminders so that all cannabis establishments can promote their business safely and responsibly.

The Cannabis Control Board is recruiting for a motivated individual to join our collaborative and dedicated team in the role of Laboratory Director.

The Cannabis Control Board has proposed to update our administrative rules. Part of this public process means that we share these draft rules and accept comments. 

Comments can be made two ways:

The Vermont Cannabis Control Board will launch a pilot program, effective January 15, 2025, to research how a disposable cannabis vaping device reclamation program could be implemented within the bounds of Vermont’s adult use cannabis market. The purpose of the pilot program is to measure the rate of reclamation for disposable cannabis vaping devices made from a compostable PLA based plastic, that also have a removable and rechargeable battery component.

The Cannabis Control Board proposes to amend its administrative rules.
