Medical marijuana adds $300,000 to General Fund

WEST TOWNSHEND — Because of the language in a proposed amendment to S.216, I feel it necessary to let lawmakers know the impact it will have on both my husband and me. We are both registered patients of the Vermont Marijuana Registry program.

This amendment seems to be designed to kill Vermont's medical marijuana program. I would like to remind you that this year the medical marijuana program added $300,000 to the General Fund. This will only increase, as we are the second-fastest-aging state in the union.

Senators, please vote down this amendment.
