Under the new law, adults 21 and older will be allowed to purchase up to two ounces of marijuana in a single retail transaction, doubling the current one-ounce limit. The measure also raises the personal possession limit from one ounce to two ounces, while increasing the legal limit for hashish from five grams to 10 grams.
The law also establishes a limited cannabis event authorization program. The Vermont Cannabis Control Board will be allowed to approve up to five public event authorizations and five private event authorizations per year. Each authorization will apply to a single event lasting no more than 24 hours at an access-controlled location.
