Legislative History
Connecticut legalized recreational cannabis for adults 21+ in 2021 through Public Act 21-1, allowing possession of up to 1.5 ounces in public (and higher amounts at home) and licensed retail sales starting in 2023. Medical cannabis has been available since 2012 via a patient registration program for qualifying conditions.
Law Enforcement
Bloomfield cops had a reputation for giving people a hard time. Smoking on busy streets was particularly likely to draw attention. Connecticut has since introduced regulated adult use, as covered in Marijuana Laws.
Where to Buy Marijuana
Blue Hills Avenue, Rockwell Avenue and the area near the Stop & Go convenience store in the centre of town were the places that came up.
