BROWNFIELD, Maine — After four years, the cannabis-growing operation Adam Martinese started out of a house has blossomed into a barn and storefront, and plans are afoot to expand to new buildings he recently purchased in Fryeburg.

Martinese, who used to run a barber shop in North Conway, got his start in the industry after a friend sparked the idea of providing medical marijuana in New Hampshire. As the law changed to allow marijuana use in Maine, he decided to begin his operation there.
