Vermont allows adults 21 and older to possess up to one ounce of cannabis and cultivate a limited number of plants per dwelling. Burlington enforces these state limits with no additional municipal restrictions on personal use.
Under 7 V.S.A. Section 881, an adult 21 or older may possess up to one ounce of cannabis or five grams of hashish. Each dwelling may cultivate two mature plants and four immature plants regardless of how many adults live there. Public consumption remains prohibited statewide. Burlington follows these limits without imposing additional municipal possession caps. Driving under the influence of cannabis is prosecuted under state DUI law. Federal law still classifies cannabis as a controlled substance, which affects federal property and housing.
Possessing more than the legal amount, public consumption, or providing cannabis to a minor results in civil fines or criminal charges depending on quantity.
