Virginia will be legal to possess and grow for rec in 23 days but whose counting, oh right.

[Catfish22]

4 I think.

[Phlash]

Last I read believe it was 3 adult, 3 immature per person limiting dwelling to 6 & 6

[Catfish22]

Thank you sir!

[Phlash]

Definitely about time PLreef, though grow lags behind the 7/1 date, but still any progress is great.

[Bowhunterwoody]

Grow starts 7/2023, at least there's a grow. 6/person, 12/household. Hope it makes it through the house. Then we can work on getting the grow earlier. Hey PLreef, couldn't get the link to work.

[PLreef]

Take a look at the WFSB app or their website.
Any progress is good progress here in CT. Honestly I figured this bill would have passed years ago with how liberal this state is.

Since October 17, 2018 for us Canadians. Still a bit taboo with some of my neighbours lolll

[OldManGrower]

The key to getting legal weed is your neighboring States. When an adjacent State goes legal and local politicians see all that potential tax revenue leaving their State to be spent elsewhere, they can't wait to jump on the bandwagon. Money is the mothers milk of politics. Show enough to a politician and you can move mountains.

[Bowhunterwoody]

New York didn't hurt either.

I wish IL had gone legal rec longer ago. Make up for all of the cigarettes bought in every possible neighboring state, our cig taxes are so high. People in Chicago claim cigs cost $15/pack in Cook County.

[GreenAlchemist]

Puglover1 dang, down there too eh? It’s the same in Canada, $15 is for our budget cig brands, I don’t even buy premium anymore because they tip the scale around $20 for a 20pk king size darts

[PLreef]

The bill was passed by the house and the senate. Just waiting for the governor to sign the bill in Connecticut is finally a legal state.

[PLreef]

It's been a long time coming. I'm pretty psyched about it though.

[Farmbuck]

Great !! Happy to hear that PLreef who knows maybe we will have an international BudFest between our two countries hey ? You know something like in Europe.

Anyway I'm waiting for Mexico to pass the bill lolll If so and we can travel again then I have a lot of catch up to do in the Yucatan lollll

[PLreef]

I know the Yucatan is calling your name buddy!!

[Bowhunterwoody]

Yep. Now we have to get them to move up the grow your own date. Not supposed to start till July 2023.

[Bowhunterwoody]

Hey PLreef. From what I understand it's 6 plants per adult, 12 per household. 5 oz in locked glovebox in car, and 8 oz locked at home. The possession part starts on July 1st this year, the state sales start May 1st next year, and the home grow starts July 1st 2023.

[Bowhunterwoody]

Also didn't hear anything about a license for home grow.

[PLreef]

Thanks Bowhunterwoody. That's the info I was looking for. I just assumed that there would be some kind of licensing, seeing they whack and tax us for everything else in this state.

[Bowhunterwoody]

Well it's official. Our governor signed it into law today. Rec use is legal on July 1st this year, retail sale on 5/1/22, home grow on 7/1/23.

[Puglover1]

I was never paranoid about having or selling weed but being legal took it away if there was <.01% of paranoia. Enjoy!

[PLreef]

I'm psyched man!! The constant minor paranoia I've had since last year a helicopter confiscated 6 of my friends grows. Some of them only had one plant on their porch, others had 25/30 in a fields. Funny part is that Leo only took the plants. None of them got a summons for court, a ticket, nada nada! Kinda weird if you ask me.

So I will no longer(when the bill takes effect) be able to get a smoking room at hotels near Bradley when I fly out of town? Maybe Manchester NH would be a more accommodating choice
