A plan to reduce the penalties for possessing marijuana easily passed
the Vermont Senate last week, and the House will take up the issue
soon. The bill removes jail sentences for most people caught with 2
ounces of marijuana, but stops short of fully decriminalizing
marijuana. VPR's Mitch Wertlieb talks with Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Sears about his
support for the legislation, and Lieutenant Governor Brian Dubie who
opposes the idea.
