PORTLAND, Maine (AP) Maine’s state marijuana office is not going to enforce a residency requirement for business operators looking for recreational cannabis business licenses.
The Portland Press Herald reports the change is the result of a legal agreement between Wellness Connection of Maine and the Maine Office of Marijuana Policy. Wellness Connection filed a lawsuit in March challenging the constitutionality of the residency requirement.
Sales of recreational marijuana were set to begin in Maine in June, but they are on hold because of concerns about creating large crowds in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.
