PROCEDURAL
OCT 1, 2022LEGALIZATION
Adult-use retail sales begin
Vermont’s first three licensed stores open under the Cannabis Control Board — four years after possession became legal. The market developed a small-cultivator, craft-cannabis identity distinct from larger states.

OCT 2020LEGALIZATION
S.54 authorizes retail; Control Board created
Gov. Phil Scott lets S.54 become law without his signature, finally authorizing a regulated adult-use market and creating the three-member Cannabis Control Board. A companion measure provided for automatic expungement of possession offenses.
JAN 22, 2018LEGALIZATION
First state to legalize via legislature
Gov. Phil Scott signs H.511 (effective July 1, 2018), making Vermont the first state to legalize adult-use possession through the legislature rather than a ballot initiative. The law allowed possession and home grow but explicitly barred commercial sales.

2004LEGALIZATION
Medical cannabis legalized
The legislature passes S.76 (Act 86 framework), establishing the Vermont Marijuana Registry and removing penalties for qualifying patients — enacted without the governor’s signature.
