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.

6% Vermont sales-and-use tax — applied on top of the 14% cannabis excise. Total state-stack: 20% on adult-use; medical sales pay nothing.

Local option

Most Vermont municipalities have NOT adopted local cannabis tax; a handful (Burlington, Montpelier) layer 1% local-option sales tax. Auto-derived per store address.

We serve here — honestly

We don’t operate stores in Vermont. We do follow CCB 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 20-vs-exempt tax split, and the CCB Portal’s biweekly inventory-reporting cadence. CannAgent ships VT support with the same compliance discipline we apply to WSLCB — and we’ll say it directly when something’s off.
