As we have seen in times past, the laws regarding cannabis use in Maine<\/a> are ever-changing and evolving. Many rules regarding marijuana use and sale are also still fuzzy as they go through the legal system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Since 2016 when the recreational use, sale and taxation of cannabis was legalized, lawmakers have been working toward making purchase and consumption of medical marijuana legal. Most recently on October 9th, 2020, the four-year-long battle ended in triumph for the marijuana community.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(As of the publishing of this post, there are currently 11 total states who allow brick-and-mortar establishments to sell recreational marijuana.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
