Tough drug bill heads to conference over Vermont penalties
Vermont lawmakers moved two rival measures toward a conference committee to resolve Senate and House differences. Senator Madeline Harwood's bill would raise penalties for hard drug abusers and sellers while keeping marijuana penalties, and remove minimums. The House bill eases possession penalties for under an ounce of marijuana but maintains strong penalties for hard drugs and cultivation. Both bills propose tough maximum penalties for hard drug trafficking.
