Due to the drugs widespread use, Sen. David Zuckerman, a member of the state's Progressive party, is sponsoring the bill which would allow adults to possess up to an ounce of marijuana and grow up to nine plants, according to the article. However, personal cultivation would only be able to take place in secure indoor facilities.
"One can experiment with alcohol, as many do, and use marijuana, as many do, and turn out to be a positive and productive member of our society," Zuckerman said. “Certainly, I’ve not hidden the fact that I recreationally used while I was in college, and yet I turned out to be a productive business person."
Tax revenue generated from marijuana sales would be used for:
- Substance Abuse Treatment Services
- Drug Use Public Education Programs
- Law Enforcement
- Marijuana Research
Last week, Vermont lawmakers, lobbyists and law enforcement officials visited Colorado with the hope of acquiring more information about the effects of recreational marijuana legalization, the article reports.
