The governor didn't sign it, but the bill passed anyway, removing legal possession and cultivation penalties for patients and setting up the Vermont Marijuana Registry. In the intervening years, additional bills have expanded the list of qualifying conditions and the types of healthcare professionals allowed to recommend marijuana for their patients.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In January 2018, Gov. <\/span><a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/legislature.vermont.gov\/Documents\/2018\/Docs\/BILLS\/H-0511\/H-0511%20As%20Passed%20by%20Both%20House%20and%20Senate%20Unofficial.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Phil Scott signed H. 511<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, eliminating penalties for possessing small amounts of marijuana for adults 21 years of age and older. The law, which became Act 86, legalized up to 1 ounce (28 grams), two mature plants, and four immature plants for each adult.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2020, the state legalized recreational sales when Gov. Phil Scott allowed&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/legislature.vermont.gov\/bill\/status\/2020\/s.54\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Vermont S. 54<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, which was introduced in 2019, to pass without his signature. The law stipulated that all localities must opt-in to having adult-use retail establishments, special consideration be given to small-scale cultivators and businesses owned by people of color and women, and a Cannabis Control Board (CCB) and advisory board be set up.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Department of Public Safety's <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medicalmarijuana.vermont.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Vermont Marijuana Registry<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (VMR) is responsible for issuing medical cannabis cards to Vermont patients with qualifying conditions and making sure registered dispensaries are compliant with state laws. S. 54 required that control move to the CCB on March 1, 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"where-is-it-safe-to-purchase-weed-in-vermont\">\n\tWhere is it safe to purchase weed in Vermont?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once recreational cannabis retail outlets open (it's planned for 2022) adults over 21 will be able to purchase cannabis in Vermont. They will be limited to flower that doesn't have more than 30% THC and concentrates with no more than 60% THC. Edibles can have up to 50 milligrams of THC with servings of no more than 5 milligrams of THC each. Unflavored vape pen cartridges are the only oil allowed.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Registered patients and caregivers with medical marijuana cards can buy cannabis from one of the <\/span><a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/medicalmarijuana.vermont.gov\/registered-dispensaries\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">dispensaries sanctioned by the VMR<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Medical sales are tax-exempt. THC limits imposed on recreational cannabis do not apply to medical marijuana.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Patients can only buy from their designated dispensary. They are limited to one chosen dispensary at a time and can only change the designation once every 30 days for a $25 fee.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A patient can assign a caregiver to buy and deliver medical cannabis if the patient is unable to obtain marijuana on his or her own.

Many dispensaries in Vermont offer delivery and curbside pickup services in addition to storefront sales.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"where-is-it-safe-to-consume-cannabis\">\n\tWhere is it safe to consume cannabis?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cannabis cannot be consumed outside of a private space or within public view. The governor's Marijuana Advisory Commission is recommending that Vermont's smoke-free laws extend to cannabis. Consumption in a public place can result in a $100 fine for the first offense.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Driving under the influence of marijuana carries severe penalties. First-time offenders could face up to two years in prison and a $750 fine. Those with more than four convictions could face a decade in prison and $5,000 in fines. Consuming cannabis while driving, which extends to second-hand smoke if anyone in the car is smoking, can result in a $500 fine, even for registered patients. An open container of marijuana in a car can result in a $200 fine.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"possessing-cannabis\">\n\tPossessing cannabis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Adults 21 and older who are not patients can possess up to 1 ounce (28 grams) of marijuana or 5 grams of hashish, and grow a maximum of two mature marijuana plants or four immature marijuana plants. Marijuana harvested from home cultivation does not count towards the 1 ounce total.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A registered medical marijuana patient and caregiver can collectively possess up to 2 ounces (57 grams) of marijuana, two mature marijuana plants, and seven immature cannabis plants. Marijuana harvested from home cultivation does not count towards the 1 ounce total. Patients may only transport cannabis if the product is in a locked container out of public view.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"medical-marijuana-registry\">\n\tMedical marijuana registry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Patients with a qualifying condition need to visit the VMR <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medicalmarijuana.vermont.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">to obtain a registry ID card<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Qualifying conditions<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cachexia, or wasting syndrome<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cancer<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chronic pain<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Crohn's disease<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Epilepsy, or other seizures<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Glaucoma<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">HIV\/AIDS<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Multiple sclerosis<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Parkinson's disease<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Severe nausea<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Patient qualifications<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To register for a card, patients need to submit a completed application to the Vermont Marijuana Registry along with the following:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A valid Vermont driver's license or Vermont ID card to establish proof of residency<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A digital, color photograph<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The name, address, date of birth, and phone number of a designated caregiver, if needed (patients younger than 18 may have up to two adults as registered caregivers)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Information about the patient's designated dispensary or whether the patient chooses to cultivate his or her own cannabis (cultivators must provide the address of a secure, indoor cultivation location)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A Qualifying Condition Verification Form completed by a healthcare professional<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A $50 non-refundable fee for the patient and an additional $50 caregiver fee, if needed<\/span><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Caregivers<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A registered patient may assign a caregiver to help obtain, cultivate, and administer medical cannabis.
