The Vermont House introduced H.14 which authorizes the use of workers’ compensation benefits to cover medical marijuana prescriptions. The bill requires the injured employee to obtain the medical marijuana from a dispensary. The medical marijuana must also provide relief to the symptoms related to the workplace injury. If enacted, the new law would be effective July 1, 2019.
