Lamont posted a short clip of a new country song from Rusty Gear on Sunday. At one point, the singer says that one great thing about Connecticut is that it’s “cool to smoke some pot” since the governor signed an adult-use legalization bill into law last year.
Connecticut has everything!
The nation’s best pizza
Lobster rolls
College basketball
Beaches

Great breweries#CTgrown produce

Lamont’s GOP opponent Bob Stefanowski was quick to criticize the marijuana mention, saying over the weekend that “our governor should not be encouraging kids to smoke marijuana.” But now he’s taken that critique up a notch by writing a letter asking state Attorney General William Tong (D) to investigate whether the sitting governor violated a state statute concerning cannabis advertising.
