Title: 

Vt. decriminalization bill heads to Senate floor

Email your senator today!

Yesterday, in a 4-1 vote, Vermont’s Senate Judiciary Committee voted to approve a bill that would reduce penalties for possessing small amounts of marijuana. Under H. 200, which has already passed the House, possession of up to an ounce of marijuana would become a civil offense punishable by a fine rather than a criminal misdemeanor.

Senators will soon be voting on this bill. Click here to send them one last message of support! Please ask your friends and family in Vermont to contact their senators as well.
