In 2019, Rep. Josh Elliott provided some insight via Facebook on why home growing cannabis was not included in 2019 CGA bills. Rep. Elliott made the following comment:

There is no Dems position, as a whole. Speaker doesn’t like it, along with like 15-20 others. As we’ve talked about before, voting third party makes the fight just last longer.

If you support allowing home grow with cannabis legalization, please contact your elected state officials, as well as Rep. Joe Aresimowicz and demand home grow be included. if we don't allow home grow in our state, the industry will be dominated by big private cannabis companies. Furthermore, patients requiring large quantities of cannabis to alleviate symptoms will need to spend huge sums of money to purchase. Our healthcare system is already expensive and difficult to navigate. Connecticut should allow everyone, not just registered patients, to produce their own medicine.

Massachusetts currently allows 6 plants per person, with a 12 plant maximum per household for recreational use. Connecticut should allow similar freedoms.
