The process through which this bill passed represents a huge legislative step forward in how cannabis laws are reformed in the United States. It also demonstrates the shift in social values towards cannabis as a valuable commodity. The fact that legislators took matters into their own hands rather than wait for constituents to pass a ballot measure indicates the momentum that is happening in America. Cannabis legalization is gaining a foothold from sea to shining sea!

As an activist, this push forward by legislators to legalize recreational cannabis for adult use is a huge and momentous event. It also sends a warm message to AG Jeff Sessions that his antiquated viewpoints on cannabis belong in the past! Let’s all fire one up in celebration of the courage of the Vermont legislature…Cheers!
