Vermont Cannabis Legalization
Vermont cannabis is indeed legal, making it possible to obtain both medicinal marijuana and Vermont recreational weed, now preferrably and professionally referred to as cannabis. In 2018, Bill H.511 made way for Act 86, which made it legal to grow, share and consume cannabis. It also permits the possession of up to one ounce of cannabis by adults age 21 and older.
However, while the state initially legalized the possession of small amounts of cannabis in 2018, there was no way for recreational users to purchase from a Vermont dispensary until October 2022. This wasn’t the first incident of Vermont cannabis laws moving slowly; Vermont legalized medicinal cannabis in 2004 but didn’t offer it in dispensaries until 2013.
Today, Vermont recreational weed consumers have a lot of options, with more than 30 legal retail establishments operational in the state and more being licensed every day. It’s a great time for Vermont cannabis consumers, and cannabis brands need to stand out. Many cannabis start-ups and businesses are asking themselves, what’s the best way to package my products to extend shelf-life, meet compliance requirements and attract customers? Enter our eco-friendly Vermont cannabis packaging solutions.
Vermont Cannabis Packaging
The main purpose of Vermont cannabis packaging is to protect the product from air, heat and moisture. Consumers want their product to be fresh, tasty and potent for as long as possible.
Retail sellers need to ensure they adhere to Vermont cannabis packaging regulations, which require that the packaging be child-resistant, opaque and labeled in a clear way that does not appeal to children.
Legal cannabis isn’t the only thing that makes Vermont a “green” state — Vermont cannabis laws also restrict single-use synthetic containers. So while single-use packaging is totally fine in many other states, Vermont cannabis packaging is a little different.
So how do you package your product in a way that adheres to all Vermont cannabis laws, meets Vermont cannabis packaging regulations and doesn’t completely destroy your profit margin?
The answer is HISIERRA.
