Abstract

Maine Attorney General Michael Carpenter and District Attorney Stephanie Anderson of Cumberland County have drafted legislation that if enacted will make the penalty for possession of crack cocaine the same as that for heroin possession. Possession of less than seven grams of any type of cocaine is currently a misdemeanor. Sales of crack cocaine in Maine were sporadic until this year, but recent arrests in Portland, Brunswick and Lewiston suggest that Maine is now becoming a target area for drug dealers from out of state.
