Vermont Statehouse in Montpelier
"This is a thoughtful, incremental approach to marijuana legalization, and we're proud to be the first state in the nation to pass marijuana legalization without the pressure of a public referendum" said House Majority Leader, Representative Jill Krowinski.
Lawmakers in the Vermont House are continuing to debate possible amendments to a proposal that would make the Green Mountain State the latest to legalize the recreational use of marijuana.
The bill would not establish a system for retail marijuana sales, but Mr. Scott created a commission previous year tasked with studying the possibility of taxing and regulating the plant in order to eventually establish a commercial cannabis marketplace. The state's Republican governor, Phil Scott, has already said he is "comfortable" with the legislation and has signaled he'd sign it.
But proponents said they felt those issues were addressed in the existing legislation. The debate took place with the backdrop of U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions rescinding a policy that paved the way for legalized marijuana to flourish in states across the country. "We applaud lawmakers for heeding the calls of their constituents and taking this important step toward treating marijuana more like alcohol", said Matt Simon, New England political director for the Marijuana Policy Project.

If passed in the state Senate and signed into law by Mr. Scott as expected, the bill, H.
The bill passed by the House allows individuals to possess up to an ounce of marijuana and to grow up to two mature plants. Vermont followed suit in 2004, and medical marijuana laws are now on the books in 29 states and Washington, D.C. It wouldn't legalize recreational pot sales, as has been done in the eight states to legalize marijuana so far.
The Vermont House decision came after Sessions reversed an Obama-era policy known as the Cole Memo which could allow the Department of Justice to prosecute marijuana sellers and customers despite its legality on a state-by-state basis.
Arlington Rep. Cynthia Browning wanted to delay legalization until there's a reliable roadside test to measure marijuana impairment. Matthew Schweich, the interim executive director of the organization, said in a statement that states are exhausted of "outdated and harmful" policies from the federal government.
