Vermont’s Governor Jim Douglas made no announcement on his web site. But on May 29, Douglas decided against a veto. So Vermont’s “Hemp for Vermont” bill which won overwhelming support in the legislature is now law. (The bill passed in the state House 126 to 9 and 25 to 1 in the Senate). This means Vermont joins North Dakota as states endorsing industrial hemp – a crop still outlawed under federal rules. For the full story, Click Here.
