The practice of “gifting<\/strong>” cannabis as opposed to outright selling it is a practice that I support 100% Now, the Vermont police do not agree with me at all.<\/p>\n

Vermont<\/strong> is mounting a crackdown on the “gifting” system after a few business owners touted their slick business techniques to a local newspaper.<\/p>\n

Per MJBizDaily<\/a><\/p>\n

Vermont\u2019s top law enforcement official moved to crack down on an emerging practice of \u201cgifting\u201d adult-use marijuana, saying the practice is illegal<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Some Vermont businesses have taken advantage<\/a> of what they think is a loophole in the state\u2019s new recreational law to deliver \u201cfree\u201d marijuana.<\/em><\/p>\n

Business owners told the Burlington Free Press they make their money through delivery fees ranging from $40 for an eighth of an ounce to $280 for a full ounce.<\/em><\/p>\n

This includes \u201ccharging someone for the purported delivery of a marijuana gift,\u201d according to the statement.\u201cAny transfer of marijuana for money, barter or other legal consideration remains illegal under Vermont law,\u201d according to an advisory statement issued Monday by the office of Vermont Attorney General T.J. Donovan.<\/em><\/p>\n

The state\u2019s new adult-use law<\/a>, which went into effect July 1, allows adults to possess up to 1 ounce of marijuana.<\/em><\/p>\n

Anti-marijuana activists urged the state<\/a> to crack down on businesses profiting from gifting, according to the Vermont Digger.<\/em><\/p>\n

The practice is hardly new.<\/em><\/p>\n

In Maine, where adults can \u201cgift\u201d up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis to another adult, a number of businesses have cropped up.<\/em><\/p>\n

Some, in fact, have sold items unrelated<\/a> to cannabis, such as T-shirts or soft drinks, at inflated prices and included \u201cfree\u201d marijuana with the sales.<\/em><\/p>\n

Longstory short, “Ain’t no money getting made on these streets without us getting a cut.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
