Maine and Vermont Pot

Stores opened in Maine this weekend, 4 years after voters passed their legalization initiative. You see, the governor didn’t like the law the voters passed, preferring the underground market which has done quite well for those four years. As is typical, launch day had few stores open with very limited supply, long lines of buyers, and high prices.

In Vermont cannabis was legal, but you couldn’t sell it. That was corrected last week when the governor let a law setting up a regulated market take affect. Look for stores to open in mid 2022.

This pinches New Hampshire by Maine, Vermont, and Massachusetts who will be gladly taking tax money from New Hampshire citizens.
