Thanks to Vermont Governor Phil Scott for signing common sense cannabis bill H511 into law. Next step? Vermont should move as thoughtfully and aggressively as possible to build a legal, regulated, taxed hemp and cannabis economy that will provide more jobs and more economic opportunities for more Vermonters.

Our friends at Seven Days answer our FAQs about Vermont’s new cannabis law.

And thanks to Heady Vermont for spotlighting our new Vermont-made 2VR HEMP flags!

You can buy them at our 2VR STORE, along with Plan ‘V’ pamphlets, passports, books, stickers, coins, and more.

Looking for a blueprint for a taxed, regulated, legal cannabis industry? We can help here, too.

Read VTCC/Vermont Cannabis Collaborative’s 2015 white paper – “What Cannabis Can Do For Vermont” – based on 18 months of research and conversation across Vermont with a variety of cannabis and hemp stakeholders.

Let’s get busy. Cannabis and Hemp ain’t gonna plant and harvest themselves.

Bless our 2nd Vermont Republic.
