Senate lawmakers shortly before 1:30 p.m. took a voice vote in favor of a bill approved by the House last week. It will allow adults 21 and older to possess up to one ounce of marijuana and to grow two mature plants and four immature plants.
The vote make Vermont the first state in the county to authorize the recreational use of marijuana by an act of the Legislature as opposed to a ballot measure.
The current bill does not contain language to regulate the production and sale of marijuana, as has been done in Colorado and other states.
The Vermont Chiefs of Police Association is not for the bill.
Governor Phil Scott says he will sign the bill.
