Maine Gov. signs proclamation making marijuana legal starting Jan. 30
Maine's Republican Gov. Paul LePage, over the holiday weekend, signed into law the proclamation that will effectively make marijuana possession and consumption legal in the state. Question 1, which voters passed Nov. 8, was a statewide initiative to regulate and tax marijuana. Starting Jan. 30 Maine residents who are 21 years of age and older will be free to possess 2.5 ounces of marijuana and grow six flowering plants, 12 immature plants and unlimited seedlings. Use in public is still illegal. "We look forward to working with the legislature to ensure a timely implementation of Question 1, which will provide adults with a legal way to purchase marijuana from licensed and regulated businesses," said David Boyer, campaign manager on "Yes on 1" in a statement.
