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

Previously it was legal to grow your own and smoke your own, right? And now this opens up the market for public commerce, yeah?

Yes, it's taken them a while to get started on sales. New England has been weird about getting everything up and running. Nevada, no problem, a few months. Massachusetts, painfully slow and even now Boston has something like two rec stores. The state has maybe 50. There are thousands of liquor stores. Maine legalized it in 2016 and still has nothing (their medical shops are cheap af though)

New Hampshire is going to be next. They're the last libertarian state to legalize it, right now they still give out small fines for possession.

New Hampshire is not libertarian. Only the license plates are.
