TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Health considerations in regulating marijuana in Vermont JO - Preventive medicine A1 - Chen, Harry A1 - Searles, John S. SP - 7 EP - 9 VL - 104 IS - N2 - This article delineates the current efforts of the Vermont Department of Health (VDH) to address the potential health impact of legalization and regulation of recreational marijuana for use by adults at least 21years of age. To this end, VDH and key stakeholders developed and published a Health Impact Assessment with specific recommendations should legislation that legalized and regulated marijuana be passed into law. Although the legalization legislation failed in 2016 and was vetoed by the Governor in 2017, it is unclear what will happen in the future.
