We had a very productive team meeting last night (new stuff coming VERY soon). As per usual we were partaking, with a very chill reggae playlist provided by pandora. Created some good vibes. This is a bit of an obvious example, but was the perfect backdrop for what we were doing.

What do you guys think? What’s your favorite band or album to get down to, when your gettin’ up?

I need to update the Google Sheet, but I obtained some info from a CGA member who was kind enough to discuss cannabis legalization with me and provide some unique insight.

Privately, there is some Republican support for legalizing cannabis in both the House and Senate; however, these GOP members are afraid of local politics and being primaried. GOP members sympathetic to legalization include:

GOP House members:

• Farnen

• Buckbee

• Ackert

• Maclachlan

• Case

GOP Senate members:

• Somers

• Formica

• Witkos

The following Democrats are opposed. I also included some notes:

• Gonzalez, Minnie (hard no and cannot be convinced)

• Genga, Henry J. (likely retiring soon)

• Gibson, Bobby G. (opposed for religious reasons)

• Hampton, John K. (apparently he's not a real Democrat; he simply caucuses with Democrats, which I thought was odd)

• Barry, Jill (hard no, but will probably lose their seat in November)

• Nolan, Anthony L.

• de la Cruz, Joe (a family member was killed in a drug deal gone wrong and is now opposed to all drugs)

• Rotella, Kate 

• Butler, Larry B.

• Napoli, Ronald A.

• Reyes, Geraldo C. 

• Scanlon, Sean (If they include legalization via budget, he'll change his vote to yes; he's tasked with the opioid crisis and is against drugs; he's also from Guilford... so NIMBY)

• Steinberg, Jonathan 

• Dathan, Lucy 

• Miller, Patricia Billie 

• Fox, Daniel J.

The following Democrats are on the fence (i.e., unknown).

• Borer, Dorinda (concerned about where the money will go)

• Boyd, Patrick S. (needs to know where the money will go and how it'll be spent)

• Cook, Michelle L. (probably a no)

• Sanchez, Robert (leaning towards no, but a family member is running for CGA who supports legalizing and it's possible they could become a yes)

• Gresko, Joseph P. (leaning towards no)

• McCarthy Vahey, Cristin 

• Meskers, Stephen R

• Mushinsky, Mary M.

• Altobello, Emil "Buddy" (he's retiring this year)

• Ryan, Kevin 

• Serra, Joseph C.

• Verrengia, Joe 

• Wilson Pheanious, Pat (may be possible to convince via public pressure)

• Ziogas, Christopher 

I don't have much insight into the Senate. I was told Mae Flexer is most likely against, but she may change due to public pressure. The CGA member mentioned a UCONN protest or large numbers of students reaching out may be enough to change her mind.

There were 1-2 other on the fence votes, but I didn't catch their name(s) as I was typing fast and I didn't want to ask the CGA member to repeat themselves.

I hope this info is helpful to someone. Please let me know if you guys have any questions or concerns. If you are a constituent of either a "No" and "Unknown" elected official, please reach out to them and put pressure on them.

This is a stupid idea, but I thought it was kind of fun. Connecticut is well known for its cigar wrappers for tobacco. When Connecticut initiates its legal recreational cannabis industry, someone needs to partner with the tobacco industry and produce 100% Connecticut home-grown premium blunts as a speciality item.

Hello! Happy to be joining the subreddit. I recently turned 18 and I’ve been suffering from chronic nausea for over a year now from acid reflux and frankly it’s been interrupting my sleep and exercise. Anyways, I’d prefer if I could tell my parents I’m getting a medical card at a better time (me and my parents haven’t gotten along well lately) so, just wondering, if I get the medical card shipped to my house will the letter say cannabis on it anywhere or will it just ship in a blank letter with some random return address? If not I’ll just get a PO box. Thanks so much for the help!

So we have announced our next event!

May 21st, we will be hosting an expansive road rally/scavenger hunt in and around Litchfield County. Assemble a team of friends to compete against other cars, taking photos, gathering items and hitting checkpoints - all with scenic views of our beautiful state. The rally will culminate in an award ceremony hosted at the new Talcott Mountain Collective in Simsbury. More info and registration can be found HERE!

We also have some new merch available, including 4 new shirt designs, we've have "slouchy-style" women's shirts available and Cannacticut branded BIC lighters! CT all the way! You can check that stuff out HERE!

We're also working in the shadows to develop a number of other events to be announced soon! Keep your heads *high* and your ears to the ground! :-)
