Cannabis Status: Open (Pending)
Connecticut just signed a bill to legalize marijuana and possession by adults 21 and older will become legal on July 1st. Sales of commercial cannabis could begin as soon as May 2022, but no specific start date has been set.
Gov. Ned Lamont (D) – “I think it’ll be the most comprehensive and best cannabis legalization bill in the country,” House Majority Leader Jason Rojas (D) said at the ceremony. “History will tell us if that’s true or not, but I feel confident in saying this is the best bill in the country and it’s going to move us in the direction of ensuring that we provide a well-regulated marketplace for adult-use cannabis for adults who want to participate in that kind of activity.” Source: Press Release
