marijuana

Maine Congresswoman Chellie Pingree has joined the effort to pass a bill that would allow states to set marijuana policies without federal interference. The law would end marijuana prohibition and start regulating marijuana like alcohol at the federal level.

There is a bill that has been introduced to make marijuana legal for adults in Maine.  It includes a plan to license and tax marijuana.

One of the biggest stories out of last week's election was that voters in Colorado and Washington State chose to legalize marijuana. States like California had previously approved medical marijuana, but Colorado and Washington are the first to also approve cannabis for recreational use.
