News » Maine Allows Public Medical Marijuana Use

For the first time, Maine’s medical marijuana patients and caregivers held an industry trade show

The event took place in Augusta, outside of a tent near the Augusta Civic Center. Under a special arrangement with police, properly documented medicinal users were allowed to medicate in public.

Approximately 500 to 700 people attended the event which patients’ advocates heralded as a major step forward for compassionate care in the state.
