 Connecticut’s Governor and regulators announced on Friday that recreational adult-use cannabis sales will begin in one month in Connecticut.
The Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) said it has notified existing medical dispensaries who have a hybrid license that they can start selling for recreational use on January 10th, 2023. DCP Commissioner Michelle Seagull said in a press release, “… medical businesses that convert would likely be the first to open just because they are existing businesses.” The Social Equity Council determined that existing medical cannabis producers do have enough supply for both the medical and new recreational markets, but they are still placing some limits on the amount available for purchase. Customers will only be able to buy up to a quarter of an ounce of cannabis flower at a time, or its equivalent, per transaction. Medical patients can still buy up to five ounces over a month’s span. Limits on purchases will be re-evaluated in time. Democratic Governor Ned Lamont’s had announced a few days earlier that Connecticut will also be automatically clearing records of low-level cannabis records for thousands of people at the beginning of the new year. President Joe Biden echoed his support, calling it “great news for Connecticut families who’ve been impacted by our nation’s failed approach to marijuana.” Comments are closed.
