Cannabis Laws in Vermont

Is weed legal in Vermont? Yes — recreational and medical cannabis are both legal here for adults 21+.

Vermont legalized adult possession and home cultivation in 2018 and opened regulated retail sales in October 2022. Adults 21+ can possess up to 1 ounce and grow up to 2 mature plants per household. The Cannabis Control Board licenses and regulates the retail market.
