Vermont could be the next state to change it's current marijuana laws. Vermont Governor Phil Scott planning to sign a bill to legalize marijuana for those 21 years or older. This will make Vermont the first state to do so through legislation. Montpelier, Vermont Mayor John Hollar explains how this could impact the growing market. "People generally think its an inevitability in our state that we will have a legalization," says Hollar. "I think people understand and recognize that its going to happen." Attorney General Jeff Sessions recently released a memo cracking down on the marijuana, reversing Obama era rules around how the market is treated at the federal versus state level. "I think it is a horrible policy decision," said Hollar. "I think it is an appalling use of federal crime resources to be chasing marijuana use."
