What’s the deal with the marijuana plant limits?

By

Wednesday, March 14, 2018 — Issue 450

BRATTLEBORO — I started writing a letter to add a horticultural voice of reason to the discussion about amending marijuana plant number limits. But when I looked up the issue on the Legislature's website, I found that S.216 is an Act Related to Prescription Drugs, which was signed into law some time ago.

I would like to understand what's really going on. Is there anything happening that might affect medical marijuana plant limits?

Will you help clarify this issue, so readers can understand if they should call or write about this and, if so, which bill and legislative committee to address?

Whether it's the latest baseless contention that President Biden wants to ban meat or the ongoing unfounded contentions of election fraud, facts do matter. Thankfully Vermont voters - and a majority of voters in our country - are proving they don't buy fact-less attempts to deceive. So it is “curiouser and curiouser” as to why the ongoing attempts to spread fact-less opinions? Across the nation, at least 60 cases have been brought to court alleging voter fraud in the last...
