Frequently Asked Questions
Find Questions Frequently Asked & Answers Provided for Informational Purposes ONLY By the Massachusetts State Cannabis Control Commission.
How can one qualify as a Responsible Vendor?
To be recognized as a “Responsible Vendor”, establishments must ensure that all new staff involved in cannabis sales and handling complete the Responsible Vendor Training within their first 90 days of employment. To retain this status, all staff, including owners and managers, must undergo this training annually.
While administrative staff not directly involved in cannabis sales can opt for this training, it’s not mandatory. Establishments with the “Responsible Vendor” title should maintain training compliance records for a minimum of four years, accessible to the Commission and other relevant authorities during regular business hours.
What constitutes the Massachusetts Responsible Vendor Training?
The Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) mandates that agents undergo specific training before starting their roles.
This training, tailored to each job’s unique responsibilities, consists of eight hours annually. This includes a minimum of four hours in the “Responsible Vendor Basic Core Curriculum” and an additional eight hours from the “Responsible Vendor Advanced Core Curriculum” annually, ensuring participants achieve at least a 70% grade in assessments.
