recreational marijuana law

After the movement to legalize marijuana scored several victories in New England, pot proponents have come up against unexpected stumbling blocks in New Hampshire and Vermont.

Vermont lawmakers are considering a measure that would make it easier to expunge misdemeanor marijuana convictions.

The state’s top Democratic lawmakers clashed Wednesday over who’s to blame for the failure to pass two key pieces of legislation: an overdue state budget and a highly-watched bill making changes to the state’s voter-approved recreational marijuana law.

Backers of legalized recreational marijuana are urging Massachusetts legislators to hold off on any major changes to the voter-approved law.
