Governor Shumlin signed the new bill into law in June. Hemp is an agricultural product which may be grown as a crop, produced, possessed, and commercially traded in Vermont pursuant to the provisions of this chapter. The cultivation of hemp shall be subject to and comply with the requirements of the accepted agricultural practices adopted under section 4810 of this title. -Senate Bill 157 According to VoteHemp, a hemp advocate website, Vermont is actually the 9th state to lift the ban on hemp, and 20 states have introduced industrial hemp legislation for the 2013 legislative season. However, what makes Vermont unique is that the new law does not hold a stipulation or amendment requiring the federal government to first lift the ban on hemp cultivation. Much like Colorado, Vermont will proceed regardless of the federal law banning hemp cultivation. >> Read more >> State Legislative and Statewide > Vermont - Marijuana Legalization Legislation Introduced | Legislation has been introduced that seeks to make Vermont the third state to legalize and regulate the adult use of marijuana.

James Douglas' signature on May 26, 2004. The law takes effect on July 1, 2004. The law removes state-level criminal penalties on the use, possession and cultivation of marijuana by patients diagnosed with a "debilitating medical condition." Patients diagnosed with the following illnesses are afforded legal protection under this act: HIV or AIDS, cancer, and Multiple Sclerosis. Patients (or their primary caregiver) may legally possess no more than two ounces of usable marijuana, and may cultivate no more than three marijuana plants, of which no more than one may be mature. The law establishes a mandatory, confidential state-run registry that issues identification cards to qualifying patients.   Approved Conditions:   Cancer, AIDS, positive status for HIV, multiple sclerosis, or the treatment of these conditions if the disease or the treatment results in severe, persistent, and intractable symptoms; or a disease, medical condition, or its treatment that is chronic, debilitating and produces severe, persistent, and one or more of the following intractable symptoms: cachexia or wasting syndrome, severe pain or nausea or seizures. Possession/Cultivation: No more than two mature marijuana plants, seven immature plants, and two ounces of usable marijuana may be collectively possessed between the registered patient and the patient’s registered caregiver. A marijuana plant shall be considered mature when male or female flower buds are readily observed on the plant by unaided visual examination. Until this sexual differentiation has taken place, a marijuana plant will be considered immature. PATIENT POSSESSION LIMITS: Two ounces of usable marijuana HOME CULTIVATION: Yes, no more than nine marijuana plants, of which no more than two may be mature. AMENDMENT(s):   Yes Amended: Senate Bill 7, which took effect on JULY 1, 2007, expands the definition of "debilitating medical condition" to include: "(A) cancer, multiple sclerosis, positive status for human immunodeficiency virus, acquired immune deficiency syndrome, or the treatment of these conditions, if the disease or the treatment results in severe, persistent, and intractable symptoms; or (B) a disease, medical condition, or its treatment that is chronic, debilitating, and produces severe, persistent, and one or more of the following intractable symptoms: cachexia or wasting syndrome; severe pain; severe nausea; or seizures." The measure also raises the quantity of medical cannabis patients may legally possess under state law from one mature and/or two immature plants to two mature and/or seven immature plants.

The bill "establishes a framework for registering up to four nonprofit marijuana dispensaries in the state... A dispensary will be permitted to cultivate and possess at any one time up to 28 mature marijuana plants, 98 immature marijuana plants, and 28 ounces of usable marijuana."

Gov. James Douglas allowed this Act to pass into law without his signature on May 26, 2004. The 'Act' grants certain patients under medical supervision and with defined medical conditions, the right to legally alleviate their symptoms through the use of marijuana.

Under this act, residents of Vermont that have a 'Chronic or debilitating medical condition' are finally allowed to legally use marijuana with the recommendation of a physician.

Although there are no definitive studies about its efficacy, a growing body of anecdotal evidence has convinced a number of medical providers and researchers that cannabis has some therapeutic value, especially when managing the symptoms associated with cancer treatment and AIDS. After four years of intense lobbying by advocates of medical marijuana and legalization of marijuana, the Vermont Legislature passed in 2004 Act 135, “An Act Relating to Marijuana Use by Persons With Severe Illness.” Interestingly, Vermont’s medical marijuana law is one of only a handful that was passed by the full legislature, rather than by voter initiative.

Gonzales v. Raich (2005) held in a 6-3 decision that the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution allowed the federal government to ban the use of cannabis, including medical use even if local laws allow it. Most places that have decriminalized cannabis have civil fines, drug education, or drug treatment in place of incarceration and/or criminal charges for possession of small amounts of cannabis, or have made various cannabis offenses the lowest priority for law enforcement.

This bill would have ended Vermont’s prohibition of marijuana for adults 21 and older, creating a regulated and taxed system for marijuana production and sale. The bill encountered obstacles in the House, where key committees did not support the Senate’s approach to marijuana regulation. The bill did not pass, but House and Senate leaders ultimately came together and agreed on a plan to continue studying the issue this fall. The study meetings began in mid-September. >>   Visit - http://www.mpp.org/states/vermont/ Regardless of what happens with the study process, the upcoming November election presents a critical opportunity to set the stage for a successful effort in 2017. In the races for governor and lieutenant governor, there is a clear contrast between candidates: Democratic nominees Sue Minter and David Zuckerman support legalization and regulation, and Republican nominees Phil Scott and Randy Brock do not. Click here to check out MPP’s complete voter guide for the Vermont general election. The case for regulating and taxing marijuana in Vermont was bolstered in February 2016, when a poll conducted by the Castleton Polling Institute found 55% support for the idea. Only 32% of Vermonters said they were opposed. >>   Visit - http://www.mpp.org/states/vermont/ The previous year, the Rand Corporation presented a legislatively-commissioned in-depth report on marijuana legalization and regulation options in Vermont. The 2015 report noted that about 80,000 Vermonters regularly consume marijuana, and they spend about $175 million each year buying cannabis. RAND researchers estimated Vermont could generate $20 million to $75 million annually in taxes by regulating cannabis.

(Previously, the standard was “severe pain” — a much higher standard than “chronic pain.”) The new law also reduced the required minimum provider-patient relationship period from six months to three months and included other small, yet positive, changes. Gov. Peter Shumlin signed the bill into law on June 6, and it went into effect July 1. In 2014, MPP worked with the legislature to expand Vermont’s law so more patients can benefit from safe, legal access. S. 247, sponsored by Sen. Jeanette White (D-Windham), passed the House and Senate and was signed by Gov. Shumlin May 27. This change in law eliminated the cap of 1,000 patients who were allowed to access dispensaries. It also allowed naturopaths to certify patients, allowed dispensaries to deliver marijuana to patients, and called for a study of the potential impacts of legalization and regulation.

Peter Shumlin signed H. 200, which eliminated the state’s criminal penalties for possessing small amounts of marijuana and replaced them with civil fines. This was a major victory for MPP and its legislative allies in Montpelier, who worked hard to build support for this sensible reform. Leading law enforcement officials, including Attorney General William Sorrell and Public Safety Commissioner Keith Flynn, supported the bill, which went into effect July 1, 2013. Click here for details on how H. 200 changed Vermont’s penalty structure. >>   Visit - http://www.mpp.org/states/vermont/ As a result of this reform, Vermont police and prosecutors now waste less time and taxpayer money on enforcing laws against marijuana possession. Individuals caught possessing an ounce or less of marijuana in the Green Mountain State are now fined but do not receive a criminal conviction. Those under 21 are now generally sent to diversion.

While the green mountain state has long been notorious for its copious amounts of cannabis consumption, the state’s first medical marijuana dispensaries just opened this week One is in Burlington, and the other is in Montpelier. Both are open three days a week. A third state-sanctioned dispensary is planned for Brandon. These arrive two years after Vermont’s Legislature passed a law allowing medical marijuana to be dispensed under strict rules. Each dispensary is required to grow its own product in a secure environment. Customers must get proof from the state that they qualify to buy the drug and have to make an appointment with the dispensary before they show up. While access is clearly limited to patients with severe, debilitating illnesses, it’s a step in the right direction for Vermont, which also decriminalized marijuana possession this year. Vermont joins New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts as yet another East Coast state to green light and activate dispensaries. ... the most widely used medical and recreational marijuana dispensary ... >> visit - marijuana.com/news/2013/06/vermonts-medical-marijuana-dispensaries-now-open-for-business/ Vermont's first medical marijuana dispensaries open - WCAX - Will prices keep patients from Vt. medical marijuana dispensaries? | BURLINGTON, Vt. - After more than a year of planning, Burlington dispensary operator Shayne Lynn began selling medical marijuana to patients late last week. High expenses from state regulation will make turning a profit difficult, but he says early returns indicate the green business may be able to stay out of the red. "We're hoping by the end of the year to have 150-200 patients and that I think would help keep us viable," Lynn said. Vermont state law prevents reporters and photographers from entering the site, just one of many privacy and security provisions. Lynn and his small staff are growing about eight different varieties of marijuana, each directed for different medical conditions. Per ounce, his prices range from $225 to $450. "I have multiple, severe pain conditions," said a registered patient, who is a client of another dispensary. He agreed to speak with us on the condition of anonymity. He says it took more than a year to get a doctor's recommendation. When he finally entered a dispensary last week, his hope for pain relief dissolved. "Since I couldn't afford a daily therapeutic dose, I elected to do the hard thing and walk out with nothing," he said. He receives about $1,000 a month in disability payments and says prices ran from $330-$530 an ounce. He has prescriptions for opiates, but worries about their addictive potential. The operator of that dispensary declined our interview request. "Of course we'd like to be able to offer it for less. Is it possible is another question," Lynn said. Lynn says at the moment his prices don't leave much margin. He's also concerned that dropping prices too low will increase the temptation for patients to illegally sell their drugs. >> visit - www.wcax.com/story/22679258/vermonts-first-medical-marijuana-dispensaries-open Legislation To Legalize Marijuana Introduced In Vermont | Vermont Senator David Zuckerman introduced a proposal - Senate Bill 306 - to legalize recreational cannabis. Under the proposed law, the possession up to 2 ounces of cannabis, and the cultivation of up to 3 plants, would be legal for those 21 and older. State-licensed retail outlets would be authorized to distribute cannabis, which would be taxed at $50 an ounce. Just last year, Vermont lawmakers approved a measure – which was signed by the governor - to decriminalize up to an ounce of cannabis, and up to 5 grams of hashish; the proposal took effect July 1st of last year. In September Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin said that he believes the nation is heading towards cannabis legalization, and wants his state to be “part of the conversation”. When asked about Senate Bill 306, Shumlin’s office says that he’s likely to support it, as he would any legislation that legalizes, taxes and regulates cannabis. “Marijuana is used all over the place. People still function in society,” says Senator David Zuckerman. If his proposal is approved into law, residents in the state can expect to see cannabis retail outlets in early 2015. >> visit - www.theweedblog.com/legislation-to-legalize-marijuana-introduced-in-vermont/ Vermont: Medical Marijuana on the Rise | High Times > Medical marijuana is more popular than ever in Vermont. According to the state Public Safety Department, more than 1,000 patients are legally using medicinal pot in Vermont – a 90 percent increase from this time a year ago. The number of caregivers – those who help patients obtain medical marijuana by growing or getting it from licensed dispensaries – is also up. There are currently 153 caregivers in Vermont – a 74 percent increase from last year. While many medical marijuana patients are satisfied with the current program, some growing pains have been reported. According to the owner of the state’s first medical pot dispensary, sales revenues don’t cover the cost of producing pot. The Champlain Valley Dispensary is looking for investors to expand and help offset operating costs. Additionally, some patients report difficulty obtaining certain strains that are helpful in treating their conditions. One such patient from South Burlington explains she’s spent the last three months in Colorado because the strain she prefers to treat her epilepsy is unavailable in Vermont. Nonetheless, the pro-pot group Marijuana Policy Project believes Vermont’s medical cannabis program “is a tremendous model of success … They’ve done a terrific job.” Read more >> visit - www.hightimes.com/read/vermont-medical-marijuana-rise Vermont (VT) MJ News Feed, by NORML.  Latest news and more for Vermont, by NORML - the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.   ... and more.   Visit - http://norml.org/news/us-vt.

In 2011, with support from Gov. Shumlin, we had a chance to improve on Vermont’s medical marijuana law, and we took it. With the help of patients and advocates throughout Vermont, the legislature passed S. 17, a bill authorizing up to four medical marijuana dispensaries, meaning patients in Vermont will finally have a safe, legal way to obtain their medicine without having to grow their own. Two dispensaries opened for business in June 2013: Champlain Valley Dispensary is now serving patients in Burlington, and Vermont Patients Alliance is now serving patients in Montpelier.

Visit: http://www.aclu.org/DrugPolicy/DrugPolicy.cfm?ID=18496&c=81 Informational Guide on Medical Cannabis | If you have ever heard of the song, “Lets Go Get Stoned,” as sung by Ray Charles or Joe Cocker, you know the lyrics were referring to getting high or using cannabis aka marijuana. This mind altering drug goes by other names as well; names such as weed, pot, joint, blunt, hash and mary jane are quite common among users. Cannabis is a plant that contains a chemical called cannabinoids or cannabinolidic acids. Another substance that is found in cannabis is THC, or Tetrahydrocannabinol, which gives the users that “high” sensation. When speaking of marijuana, the actual substance used in creating the high feeling comes from the leaves and flowering tops of the cannabis plant. Marijuana is considered to be a schedule 1 controlled substance today, because of the THC, which can be highly potent, depending upon the concentration factor of the THC.
