Governor Phil Scott has created a special marijuana advisory commission.

Governor Phil Scott created a special marijuana advisory commission to review a number of key issues surrounding the legalization of marijuana in Vermont. Neal Goswami, bureau chief at the Vermont Press Bureau, told Vermont Edition how the commission's report, to be issued in December of next year, could affect the legalization debate.

Gov. Scott has asked the panel to look at highway safety concerns, tax and regulation issues and education and prevention programs.
