Who regulates cannabis retail in Vermont?

Vermont Cannabis Control Board (CCB) is the state cannabis regulator for Vermont. Official site: https://ccb.vermont.gov.

What seed-to-sale track-and-trace system does Vermont use?

Vermont runs its own state-built licensee reporting portal for seed-to-sale tracking (no vendor platform like METRC or BioTrack, and no integrator API). CannAgent generates the portal-ready inventory tracking report on the regulator's cadence; the licensee submits it through the portal.

Your rules, handled

Vermont’s cannabis retail rules — what the CCB requires at the counter, how sales are reported to the state, and what the taxes are — are researched from the regulator’s own pages and coded into the register. You run the shop; the rules are handled at the sale.

At the register, as of September 2026: the 14% cannabis excise plus 6% sales tax on adult-use sales, both on the same sales price and itemized separately, plus the 1% local option where your town levies it. Sales by a dispensary or a medical-use-endorsed retailer to a registered patient are exempt from both.

Coverage here — honestly

Vermont coverage is written against CCB rules: the bulletins, the multi-tier license topology under Act 164 (cultivator / manufacturer / retailer / integrated / social-equity, each with different reporting cadences), the medical-vs-adult-use tax split (20% combined on adult-use; both taxes waived on medical only where the seller is a dispensary or medical-use-endorsed retailer AND the buyer is a registered qualifying patient or their registered caregiver), and the CCB Portal’s inventory-reporting cadence — real-time sales to the tracking API, monthly reconciliation within 15 days of month end. We keep it current as the CCB moves, and where something isn’t built for VT yet we say so before you sign.
