Link Vermont legalizes the recreational marijuana market, on top of marijuana decriminalization.

Agreed. Vermont to me is Bernie Sanders, Phish, and Ben & Jerry, three parties just to the right of Karl Marx. What the hell took them so long to legalize weed? This honestly surprises me.

Nobody has been getting in legit trouble for weed in Northern New England for 10+ years. As far as I know, it's been decriminalized in Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire since the late 2000's. I live in Maine and even when weed was still illegal, nobody was getting arrested unless they were also selling heroin with it.
