Connecticut launches new website dedicated to recreational marijuana updates

HARTFORD, CT (WFSB) – Now that recreational marijuana is legal in Connecticut, the governor has launched a website where people can go to follow any updates regarding the new law.

Cannabis became legal in Connecticut back on July 1.

Anyone 21 years and older can legally possess 1.5 ounces of marijuana or an equivalent amount of cannabis-plant materials, and they can have up to 5 ounces in their private residence or a vehicle’s trunk or locked glove box

Connecticut has become the 19th state to legalize recreational marijuana, and the fourth state to do it this year.

While part of the law legalizing recreational marijuana has gone into effect, there are other components that don’t go into effect for another one to two years, most notably the establishment of retail sales, which are expected to begin toward the end of 2022 and will have a very specific licensing process and social equity requirement.

Therefore, the new website, which can be found by clicking here, will provide resources so residents can keep up with the latest information.

“Passage of this new law was an important step forward in ending the failed war on drugs as adults over the age of 21 can now legally possess and consume cannabis in Connecticut,” Gov. Ned Lamont said in a statement. [Read More @ WFSB.com]
