Last week, Gov. Phil Scott signed legislation that affects Vermont's retail cannabis industry.
But the Vermont Cannabis Equity Coalition urged the governor to veto the bill because it says it failed to include any of its top priorities.
The coalition fears that the failure to address these issues will result in a sizable number of small growers going out of business — or returning to the illicit market to sell their products.
Vermont Public's Jenn Jarecki spoke with Senior Reporter Bob Kinzel about the debate in the Statehouse and concerns about the industry. This interview was produced for the ear. We highly recommend listening to the audio. We've also provided a transcript, which has been edited for length and clarity.
