What you need to know about weed in Maine Posted at

It’s been almost a week since personal possession and consumption of marijuana has been legal in Maine, following the citizen ballot initiative approved last fall. The new state law, which took effect Jan. 30, allows not only the possession and consumption of marijuana for adults, it will allow, in time, purchase and consumption of marijuana at regulated locations.  Maine joins seven other states and the District of Columbia that allow recreational use of marijuana.
