According to the Associated Press, November 5th — Maine has become the fifth state to allow dispensaries where marijuana can be distributed to medical patients. But medical marijuana advocates say Maine won't become like Los Angeles, where hundreds of dispensaries have popped up and come under critical scrutiny. Ethan Nadelmann of the New York-based Drug Policy Alliance says Maine's law has stricter provisions than California's. He says "Maine dispensaries will be licensed by the state, unlike those in California, and that Maine narrowly defines medical conditions for which patients can be prescribed pot, while California allows doctors to recommend it for virtually any ailment." Nonetheless, the director of the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency opposed the move saying that the state lacks proper oversight and control.
Meanwhile the town council in Dillon, Maine, said, "No, thanks to having a dispensary." The town council said no to medical marijuana dispensaries within town limits — for now. Council members cited concerns about abuse, need and lack of state regulations as reasons for not moving forward on approving regulations in voting against an ordinance setting out guidelines for dispensaries in Dillon Tuesday.
“Dillon, Maine”
No such place.
Dillon?
Anyway, Barney Fwank’s boyfriend can get his pot now but he still won’t be able to marry Barney.
I hear Ogunquit is looking at a “local option” for gay marriage.... :)
George Soros has been funding pro-marijuana campaigns for years, and he must be very pleased with his handiwork.
Really? If that is so there is one mark in his favor. I support anyone that protects my right to smoke pot.

And you smoke it why ?
I have a terrible anorexia, I have insomenia.
So a doctor prescribes it for you ?
of sorts
Of sorts ?
Or, are just nosy and want to speak against one of your pet projects. Go have a beer... or smoke a joint. It shouldn't matter in polite company!
I’m pro-WOD. I don’t think anyone needs to be smoking dope, at the very least not recreationally, nor do I believe anyone has a “right” to illegal drugs. A former classmate of mine started down that path, and by the time it was over, both he and his wife met grizzly deaths, leaving their young children without their parents.
It should be legal nationwide, medical or not.
Of course you’re pro-WOD. It was obvious, or I wouldn’t have posted. I always like to point out the authoritarian a..holes on these threads...
Which drug was it that caused these horrors? Was it whiskey or beer? Alcohol is the scourge, not pot. I've never heard of grizzly deaths from smoking a little marijuana. I have heard tales of lots of beaten women or a..holes killing innocents, driving while drunk on booze.
Your story is like so many others that we hear from statists and Dimocraps. Obama uses them every time he opens his mouth. Sell your bridge elsewhere. The people visiting here know better...
Wow, “authoritarian a$$hole.” You sound like a doper dip$hit. Obviously, you could care less the consequences of legalization given your glossing over of my post and the fact of real-life consequences of this garbage being foisted on the public. Nope, it’s all about doper selfishness. I’ll say it again, none of that crap should be legalized. EVER. Capiche, bud ?
Marijuana, then more hard-core crap. He was having a party at his house with a few friends. Stoned out of his mind, he brought out a gun and blew his wife’s brains out in front of horrified witnesses. Know why ? There WAS no reason. He was f*cked out of his head. The cops were called, he ran out back and ate his gun. His kids went to bed with both their parents and woke up with neither. That’s what your garbage did. This was one of the friendliest, nicest people I ever had as a classmate and it turned him into a murdering monster. Stand for legalization ? No f’ing way. Want to move to Mars alone and kill yourself that way ? Be my guest. This was my neighborhood. Obviously you doper dip$hits could care less. So you can take your libertoonian crap and shove it up your ass. Have a nice day.
Waaaahhh. Which crap are you referring to, beer or booze? "Capiche" sounds like gangster talk.
It's obvious that you hold the Constitution in disregard like our pResident. What part of "liberty" is unclear to you?
