'Gifting' cannabis now carries $1K fine in Connecticut
The practice of exchanging cannabis or cannabis-related products for donations or other purchases — known as “gifting” — could now carry a heavy price tag Connecticut.
Under legislation signed last week by Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont, towns can fine residents up to $1,000 for gifting a cannabis plant or related products.
The state also has the authority to issue $1,000 fines for not paying state sales taxes on the exchanges.
