Gov. Phil Scott on Wednesday signed a bill to tweak cannabis industry regulations, despite the fact that Vermont's growers say it lacks the bigger reforms they need to survive. The bill, H.321, contains mostly minor changes to the rules governing an industry that has experienced growing pains since recreational sales started three years ago. For example, the legislation clarifies that cops can confiscate illegally grown weed. It require labels to say when weed was harvested and packaged.
