Earlier today I joined Governor Lamont for a roundtable discussion regarding his proposal to legalize and regulate - responsibly and equitably - the adult use of cannabis in alignment with neighboring states.
I was glad to take part in the conversation and discuss what I feel are the three main and very logical components of the Governor's bill:
- Decriminalization
- Regulation
- Revenue Generation
As I discussed, animating each of these components of the bill is the concept of equity – from expunging prior convictions, to creating new and lower cost market entry opportunities, to the formation of an Equity Commission to help manage opportunities and the flow of revenue.
