Maryland Cannabis Administration

Responsible Vendor Training for Grower and Processor Agents

Notice |
Updated:

The Alcoholic Beverages and Cannabis Article, Sec. 36-501 requires all cannabis licensees to have registered agents complete a Responsible Vendor Training (RVT) Program annually. The RVTs that the Maryland Cannabis Administration (MCA) has approved to date contain content that is most applicable to dispensary agents. Accordingly, the MCA is advising that agents of grower or processor businesses may be granted an additional six months to complete a RVT course that best aligns with their assigned duties. During this extension, the MCA will be evaluating what training coursework is best suited to meet this goal.  

Registered agents who are employed at any dispensary location, in any capacity, are still required to complete the course prior to January 1, 2025. Registered agents who function at both a grower or processor, and a dispensary are also required to complete the course prior to January 1, 2025.
