Zappiste: Told her about my views on the disparity and the compromise...

Marijuana: Two marijuana plants with purchase of a $125 annual permit from the Department of Health !?

Alcohol: A person of legal age may, without obtaining a license under this title or paying state taxes or fees, produce malt or vinous beverages, or both, at home provided that the amount of home-fermented beverages produced by that person does not exceed the quantities limitation in 26 U.S.C. §§5053 and 5042.

The the quantities limitation are: 200 gallons of beer and 200 gallons of wine a year if there are 2 or more adults in such household
without obtaining a license or paying state taxes or fees

Thanks for reaching out to us. As I hope is clear we share your view that the disparity in Vermont's alcohol and marijuana laws are completely hypocritical. Although this was a disappointing week, we will continue to work towards legalization in Vermont and remain convinced that it will be a reality in the near future.

All the best,
Laura
