| Description | Vermont will become the 11th state in the nation to allow sales of marijuana for recreational use after Gov. Phil Scott (R) said this week he would not veto a measure passed by the state legislature.
Scott had vetoed an earlier marijuana legalization bill that did not include specific funding directives he had sought.
But in a letter to legislators this week, Scott said he would allow the latest bill to become law without his signature. He said the measure included a sufficient amount of funding to education and prevention campaigns designed to keep children off marijuana, and a roadside saliva test aimed at curbing driving under the influence. |
