AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) Maine lawmakers are considering a proposal to extend a ban on retail sales of marijuana until May 1 to give the state more time to craft rules about legal pot.
Lawmakers are trying once again on Tuesday to sort out details of the voter-approved law legalizing recreational marijuana. Recreational marijuana use became legal for adults last year, but there’s no way to legally buy it because Republican Gov. Paul LePage vetoed a bill created by a bipartisan task force.
The sale of recreational marijuana is technically set to become legal Feb. 1, even though there’s no way to obtain the needed license.
The Portland Press Herald reports Republican Sen. Roger Katz proposed extending the moratorium.
