Vermont Governor Creates Commission to Study Legal Marijuana

The commission will hold its first meeting on or by Oct. 1 and is expected to give the governor a report early next year containing its recommendations.


Vermont Gov. Phil Scott has signed an executive order creating a commission tasked with exploring the state’s options for legalizing marijuana months after vetoing a bill aiming to do the same.

The 13-member commission unveiled Thursday by Mr. Scott, a first-term Republican, will meet in the coming months “in order to establish a common baseline understanding of the most credible data regarding health endpoints of marijuana use and safety impacts of legalization,” according to a copy of his executive order.
