This week, Aleece discusses Connecticut’s recent legalization of adult-use cannabis. On June 22, 2021, Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont signed Senate Bill 1201, or An Act Concerning Responsible and Equitable Regulation of Adult-Use Cannabis, into law. Connecticut is the fourth state this year to legalize adult-use cannabis, on the heels of New York, New Mexico, and Virginia. Barclay Damon, which has an office in New Haven, has been closely tracking cannabis legalization developments in Connecticut. Tune in to hear Aleece go into greater detail about key elements of Connecticut’s cannabis legalization legislation, including when the state expects sales to begin, the program’s governing body, who qualifies as a social equity applicant, and the types of licenses that will be available to applicants. Aleece plans to have subsequent episodes that focus solely on Connecticut’s new cannabis legislation. Let’s get into it!
