Vermont Governor Calls for Legalizing Marijuana in State of the State Address


Gov. Peter ShumlinGov. Peter ShumlinVermont Governor Peter Shumlin used his annual State of the State speech on Thursday to call on lawmakers to pass legislation legalizing and regulating marijuana.

"I will work with you to craft the right bill that thoughtfully and carefully eliminates the era of prohibition that is currently failing us so miserably," Shumlin told legislators. "I believe we have the capacity to take this next step and get marijuana legalization done right the Vermont way. Let's do it together."
 
The state is seen by national legalization advocates as likely to be the first to end prohibition by an act of the legislature as opposed to through a citizen ballot initiative.
