The Green Mountain State now has a totally different meaning for Vermont.
For the first time, a state legislature in the U.S. legalized adult cannabis use for adults 21 and older.

Wreaths aren’t exactly the most exciting thing about the holidays — unless they come loaded with weed, dude.
Cannabis company Henry’s Original has unveiled a limited-edition handcrafted holiday wreath, which you’ll probably want to hang on the inside of your door instead of the outside, because it comes loaded with a full ounce of marijuana flower.
The actual wreath is made of eucalyptus, evergreen, dried wheat and grasses, moss, berries, and pine cones, and plastered throughout is an ounce of sun-grown “artisanal cannabis” grown in Mendocino County. Henry’s Originals assures customers that the cannabis can easily be removed for consumption without disrupting the structural integrity of the wreath. Read more…
