Abstract

"This Just In" piece on LD 1418, sponsored by Sen. Ethan Strimling (D-Portland). The bill would relax Maine's medical-marijuana laws by allowing any medical professional who can write a prescription to permit someone to grow or buy small amounts of marijuana for personal medical use. Jonathan Leavitt, director of the Maine Marijuana Policy Initiative, has hired lobbyists to push the bill. Peter Christ, vice-president of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, is pushing for broader legalization. Christ wants all drugs legalized so that they can be regulated and controlled.
