Vermont Becomes the Ninth State to Legalize Recreational Marijuana

Posted on by

“Today Vermont Gov. Phil Scott signed a bill making his state the ninth to legalize marijuana for recreational use and the first to do so through the legislature rather than a ballot initiative.

Posted on by

“Still fighting the culture wars, Reagan and his advisers decided early on that marijuana was the biggest drug threat facing the country. And so a couple of years into his first term, federal and California officials came up with a battle plan to target cultivation in the northern part of the state. The phrase ‘battle plan’ isn’t much of an exaggeration here.”
