Vermont Governor Signs Marijuana Bill
Received from the folks at the Marijuana Policy Project today....
"MONTPELIER, VERMONT -- Without comment or fanfare, on June 21 Gov. Howard Dean (D) signed legislation setting up a state task force to study how Vermont should go about protecting medical marijuana patients from arrest. While the measure provides no immediate protection to seriously ill Vermonters who need marijuana to relieve
their symptoms, the new law sets the wheels in motion for solid patient protection next year....
The measure, S. 193, establishes a task force "to investigate and assess options for legal protections which will allow
seriously ill Vermonters to use medical marijuana without facing criminal prosecution under Vermont law."
