Vermont Track and Trace Guide

Covering medical and recreational cannabis

Track-and-trace requirements in Vermont 101

In 2004, Vermont initiated its journey with cannabis legalization by allowing medical marijuana for patients with specific medical conditions through Senate Bill 76. This program, regulated by the Vermont Marijuana Registry, permits qualified patients to possess and cultivate limited amounts of cannabis for personal use.

In 2018, Vermont took a significant step by legalizing the possession and cultivation of cannabis for adults aged 21 and over. This legislative action positioned Vermont as a leader in cannabis reform.

On October 7, 2020, Governor Phil Scott announced his decision to let S. 54 — legislation to regulate and tax cannabis sales — become law without his signature. This development marked Vermont as the 11th state to regulate adult-use cannabis sales and the second to achieve this through legislation rather than voter initiative.

Subsequently, in 2020, Vermont enacted Act 164, which created a regulatory framework for the commercial sale of cannabis, including establishing the Cannabis Control Board (CCB) to oversee licensing and regulation. Adult-use cannabis sales in Vermont began in 2022.

FAQs

What is the Vermont track-and-trace system?

Vermont's state-mandated system is designed to monitor the seed-to-sale movement of cannabis products throughout the supply chain, ensuring that all products are legally produced, transported, and sold within the state. However, Vermont currently does not contract with a third-party track-and-trace system.

Who needs to use a track-and-trace system?

All licensed cannabis cultivators, manufacturers, distributors, and retail dispensaries in Vermont are required to use the track and trace system to report their cannabis-related activities.

How does the track-and-trace system work?

The system uses unique identifiers (UIDs) for plants and packages to track cannabis products from cultivation through to the point of sale. Each entity in the supply chain must report various activities, including planting, harvesting, processing, transferring, and selling cannabis products.

What are the benefits of a track-and-trace system?

The system aims to prevent the diversion of cannabis into the illegal market, ensure product safety and quality, facilitate recall efforts if necessary, and assist in enforcing regulations regarding the legal cannabis market.

Non-compliance can result in penalties, including fines, suspension, or revocation of the business's license to operate in the cannabis industry in Vermont.
