The evidence is clear: Vermont’s cannabis regulations are not only unfair but also riddled with inconsistencies and contradictions. The 15% advertising rule, the forced display of potentially misleading lab results, the prohibition on discussing therapeutic benefits, and the hypocritical reliance on cannabis tax revenue all point to a system that needs urgent reform. It’s time for Vermont to embrace a more balanced approach – one that respects the First Amendment rights of cannabis businesses, prioritizes consumer education, and fosters a fair and thriving marketplace. This blog urges our lawmakers to listen to the voices of those working within this industry and enact sensible changes that allow us to operate transparently and responsibly. Only then can Vermont truly realize the economic and social benefits of a well-regulated cannabis industry.
