There is a story in today's print edition of the Press Herald that does not appear to be online, at least not yet.
NH has passed a MMJ law that, after compromise, the governor is expected to sign.
Some highlights:
Patients with cancer, Crohn's, and other conditions eligible
Allowed to possess up to 2 oz obtained from one of 4 dispensaries
No patient growing
Here is where it gets really silly. Considering the difficulty that Maine dispensaries have in meeting demand, do the math on this:
Each of the four dispensaries are allowed a maximum of 80 plants, 160 seedlings, and 80 oz of prepared marijuana OR 6 oz per qualifying patient. They also have a limit of 3 mature plants, 12 seedlings and 6 oz per patient.
I admit I am a little confused about it, but it seems to me that it isn't very scalable. If they get a lot of patients (and they will, with no patient growing), the overall limits will prevent them from meeting demand even worse than in Maine.
Legalizing MMJ but then restricting the supply and not allowing people to grow their own meds is not a step forward, imo. Glad I live in Maine.
