Montpelier Sen. David Zuckerman, P-Chittenden, has introduced a bill this year to legalize, tax and regulate the production, sale and recreational use of pot in Vermont.
But Zuckerman says the timing isnt right for full legalization this year though that is his ultimate goal.
I think this is a building year, more than a likely passage year, Zuckerman said.

And Weaver has a warning for the public.
The citizens need to understand that you can't go to Colorado and buy your marijuana and come back to Oklahoma and legally smoke it, Weaver said.
Weaver said his agency plans to monitor the situation and make enforcement changes as needed.

(6,057 posts)I guess Mr. Weaver worried about his job security as head of the OBN if marijuana becomes a non-issue.
He should probably consider moving some of the assets he's using to make minor pot violations now to the more serious problems Oklahoma has....... like METH for instance!
The red states fighting the legalization and taxation of marijuana are going to regret it.
I guess it's where you put your priorities....... filling private prisons or taking in funds for the state budget.
