Vermont’s Medical Cannabis Sales Start Now
Starting as soon as July, cannabis retailers with a new medical-use endorsement will be able to sell medical-grade pot products to select patients enrolled in the state's medical program.
Since Vermont's first recreational cannabis dispensaries opened their doors in 2022, the state's medical marijuana program has hit the skids.
As of November 2024, just over 2,700 patients were enrolled in the program, down from a high of almost 5,500 medical-card holders in 2017, according to data from Vermont's Cannabis Control Board. And as patients have opted to simply buy cannabis products at the now-ubiquitous recreational retailers, all but two of the state's standalone medical dispensaries have shuttered their doors.
"The business model just doesn't work anymore," James Pepper, chair of Vermont's Cannabis Control Board, told members of the House Committee on Human Services Wednesday.
