Last week, Erica Deuso, a Downingtown resident, found herself in Vermont visiting her uncle on the first day of retail adult-use cannabis sales in the state, writes Brent Hallenbeck for the Burlington Free Press. 

She noticed a huge but orderly line in front of Ceres, one of the few stores in Vermont that has received a state license to sell adult-use cannabis. 

Since she was visiting from Pennsylvania, where retail adult-use cannabis sales are not yet allowed, she decided to join the line. As a Vermont native, Deuso had a lot of experience of standing in line to make sure she snags the latest major craft-beer release from one of the world-renowned brewers in the state. 

This time, the prize at the end of the line was a bit different: adult-use cannabis. 

“I don’t even know if I’ll buy anything, but I’m just curious,” said Deuso.
