Police had a reputation for knowing where people smoked and revisiting secluded spots where they’d caught someone before. Over half an ounce was said to risk an intent-to-sell charge, with some cases ending in probation and a fine. Vermont has since introduced regulated adult use, as covered in Marijuana Laws.
