Cannabis Coalition Responds to Governor’s Action on S.54 with Renewed Effort to Reform Next Session

This week, Governor Phil Scott allowed S. 54 to pass into law without his signature, despite acknowledging that there is still work to do to make this policy equitable. Thank you to all who supported us in engaging with this taboo and politically divisive issue and for supporting economic equity, agricultural access, repairing past harms done, and ending the criminalization of a plant explicitly founded in racism.

We look forward to continuing our advocacy for justice and equality in the emerging cannabis market and to doing so in conjunction with the over 100 farms, organizations, and businesses who have recently expressed their desire to do the same by signing on in support of our work and all other advocates who care to join. We hope that we can count on the Governor's Office and Legislature to support all of us in this work.
