Governor Lamont has officially released a proposal to legalize and regulate the adult use of marijuana in Connecticut, setting the stage for a debate in the state legislature that could lead to the legal sale of recreational cannabis in our state by May 2022.
John, do you think Connecticut should legalize recreational marijuana?
Yes!
No!
According to Governor Lamont’s proposal, taxed sales of recreational marijuana would generate an estimated $33.6 million in tax revenue for Connecticut by 2023, growing to $97 million by 2026.
A large portion of sales revenue would go toward municipal aid to “reduce property taxes, increase services, promote social equity” — and this proposal would also automatically erase all convictions prior to October 2015 for possession of less than four ounces of cannabis.
Neighboring states like New Jersey and Massachusetts have already legalized marijuana — now Connecticut must decide if it’s time to join them.
What do you think, John? Do you support the legalization and regulation of recreational marijuana sales in Connecticut?
