FRYEBURG, Maine — Anyone hoping the town would become a "marijuana mecca" would have left last Thursday's town meeting disappointed, as a zoning article to allow recreational marijuana stores was overwhelmingly defeated in a voice vote.  

This year, town meeting took place at the Expo Center at the Fryeburg Fairgrounds rather than at the Fryeburg Academy. A socially distanced crowd of about 110 people attended.

If you say anything against the dopers beloved marijuana they always bring up "Reefer madness" Because it's all they really have. It causes a lot of social problems and mental health issues. There are many many documented cases of patients having psychiatric events related to marijuana use. Crash rates also go up with the use. All you have to look at is Colo. It is a vastly different place than it once was.
