David Zuckerman was in town yesterday, and spoke with groups of democrats and progressives. At the latter someone asked if there was any way that cannabis reform was going to happen in VT this legislative session. David, who was being videotaped throughout the event by a representative of th Republican Governors Association, gave a very thoughtful analysis of the state of cannabis reform in the state and country. He said that the best way for us here in Brattleboro to help make something happen might be to call Tristan Toleno, who is serving as the democratic whip in the House, because in that role Toleno not only counts votes but can push to get certain bills considered.

Crack the Whip
I wasn’t able to attend. But I didn’t realize Tristan needed prodding on this issue. So, if as Whip he “not only counts votes but can push to get certain bills considered,” what has he been doing about legalization before now?

I sent off a letter.
It would be nice to see Town gov’t push for the local option tax. Or just for getting rid of penalties and pushing this as an opiate alternative. Prudish puritans that we are, I know it is hard to do, but increasingly necessary.
