Vermont Gov. Phil Scott announced Wednesday he will veto a legalization bill that would have made Vermont the first state to pass legalization through the legislature without a public vote. The bill would have legalized possession of up to an ounce of cannabis for adults 21 and over, and it would have permitted home cultivation of up to two mature plants and four immature plants.

Gov. Scott said in a press conference he would like to revisit legislation with a better bill in the future.

He stated he would like a new bill to include harsher punishments for those selling cannabis to minors, using cannabis in front of minors and driving while under the influence of cannabis. Gov. Scott also remarked he would like other government entities, such as the Department of Public Safety, to be represented in a new bill as well as studies on determining cannabis driving impairment thresholds and how to test cannabis impairment.

Vermont’s state Senate passed a tax-and-regulate legalization bill last year that was supported by then-Gov. Peter Shumlin. The effort died in the House.
