In a veto session that ended up lasting just one day, Vermont lawmakers passed a state budget package that included a compromise on teacher health benefits, but a new version of a marijuana legalization bill was blocked on a procedural vote in the House on Wednesday, according to news reports.
That means the issue of marijuana legalization will have to wait until the 2018 session to be taken up again.
The bill that was blocked would have allowed people over 21 to possess up to an ounce of marijuana and would have allowed them to grow several plants, according to reports.
