(AUGUSTA, Maine) - In a landmark vote, Maine voters today approved Question 5, making the state the third in the country to license nonprofit organizations to provide medical marijuana to qualified patients and the first ever to do so by a vote of the people.
With 49 percent of the vote tallied, the measure was cruising to an easy win with 60.2 percent voting “yes” and 39.8 percent voting “no.”
Under the measure, the state will license nonprofit organizations to provide medical marijuana to qualified patients and set rules for their operation. While 13 states permit medical use of marijuana, only Rhode Island and New Mexico have similar dispensary provisions, both of which were adopted by the states’ legislatures. Maine’s original medical marijuana law was passed in 1999. |

If you guys didn't see... they also recently passed legislation that the Feds can't bust people who have legal pot in their state.
Basically up til then even if it was legal in your state, people were getting busted by the Feds anyways.
Fixed! |

| They also just legalized it in a Colorado town, forget the name. But slowly but surly we are taking baby steps there. Heck, NYC you're allowed to carry small amounts and only get a fine if you're caught |

the amount of money that would be saved on jailing for possession alone would be worth it :P |
