Looks very promising… but then there’s this.

“While great strides have been made towards that end, cannabis is back to its default position of delay as the adult-use application process is overdue to begin as the 15 dispensary licenses from the 2019 round of medical cannabis applications, a process that started 27 months ago, have yet to be rewarded.”

Maybe they, and he, are open enough to it that they’re willing to endorse it when publicly pressed, but not willing to go any further until they’ve finished their fight over whose friends get all the money? Just a thought. :frowning: I’m sure we can trust them though, why would a politician make false promises? Obviously I’d love to be proven wrong, but… meh.

Keep in mind the election is upon us too so he might suddenly be open to all kinds of things for the next week and then change his mind.

yup, trying to wipe out any remaining small business, just like in Maine. We’re nearing the end of a 40-year campaign of corporatization and conversion to a closed economy in the USA.

I love the feigned angst over “untested product”. Every single fruit and vegetable on sale at the grocery store is an “untested product”

Rangeley is my old home-away-from home! crooked police & town government…too bad

As part of the scheme, a Rangeley select board member was paid tens of thousands of dollars to advance a marijuana ordinance that Sirois himself had drafted to a town referendum, prosecutors said.

And keep in mind, that for every one of these malefactors apprehended, just how many simply carry on with their illicit activity, forever unscathed by the law? Hmmm?

That’s why they need to track every $600 transaction, haven’t you heard? To catch millionaire tax evaders, who clearly have the time to be dealing in piddling small change like that…
