STATE TO HOLD HEARING ON MARIJUANA LEGALIZATION

A public hearing is planned this week on the possible legalization of 
marijuana in Vermont. The Wednesday hearing will be held statewide 
via Vermont Interactive Television. Earlier this year the Legislature 
ordered the administration to study marijuana legalization. A report 
is due in January. The state contracted with the RAND Corporation to 
examine issues that include production, distribution, and possession 
of marijuana. The hearing will be held by Secretary of Administration 
Jeb Spaulding and Beau Kilmer, the codirector of the RAND Drug Policy 
Research Center. Spaulding and Kilmer will make brief presentations, 
after which the session will be devoted to questions and comments 
from people attending the meeting.
