Comments on: Maine voters choosing to approve registry cards and medical marijuana dispensaries http://stash.norml.org/maine-voters-choosing-to-approve-registry-cards-and-medical-marijuana-dispensaries The Growing Truth About Cannabis Sun, 12 Feb 2012 16:08:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Phlynte http://stash.norml.org/maine-voters-choosing-to-approve-registry-cards-and-medical-marijuana-dispensaries/comment-page-1#comment-43117 Phlynte Wed, 04 Nov 2009 16:08:59 +0000 http://stash.norml.org/?p=12912#comment-43117 During some last minute interviews, the proponent of the question did mention that this bill would recognize people from other states that had Med. MJ cards. I'm not sure how that would work as I haven't read that specifically in the bill. There are those that feel giving the control to the Maine Dept. of Human Services is a wrong move. Lots of bad blood with DHS taking kids from parents and such. I don't really trust the thrust behind the Marijuana Policy Initiative as they seem to be for pot remaining a controlled substance instead of being in favor of complete legalization. There is big money to make with the control & distribution, so we all want to be real careful that we don't trade one group of crooks (that we know) for another we can't really be sure of. Anyone wanting to get into the dispensary business will have to pony up $5,000 first. Still, whether or not the purpose of the bill means the same thing to all the Maine voters, we continuously support greater access. Next move is legalization.

This looks better than the set-up in Colorado or California. Will the dispensaries and registration increase ease of access for Maine patients?
