Adult-Use Cannabis Taxation and Regulation

The Cannabis Control Board recently hired an Executive Director, and is holding “special meetings” until it solidifies its regular schedule. The June 10th meeting focused on “small cultivators”, and members of the VT Cannabis Equity Coalition (including Rural VT), as well as local farmers and small businesses testified - highlighting many common themes. In one day, the CCB was able to bring in more voices of farmers and small businesses than either the House or Senate Agriculture Committee did in the last 6 years of cannabis legislation in VT. This week’s coming meeting will focus on Racial Equity. Meetings are open to the public and include the opportunity for public comment.
