Double the limit: Vermont bets bigger cannabis buys will beat the black market

Vermont has upped the legal limit for cannabis purchases to 2 ounces per day, doubling the previous amount, in an effort to curb the thriving black market. This move reflects a broader national trend towards more relaxed cannabis regulations and suggests the state's confidence in its legal market's ability to compete with illicit sales. By offering bigger, legal options, Vermont aims to reduce the demand for illegal cannabis, potentially impacting crime rates and the economy tied to black market transactions. This shift could also serve as a model for other states grappling with similar issues.
