AUGUSTA, Maine — Legal marijuana sales for adults 21 and over will begin tomorrow today in Maine but it still won’t be happening in towns like Fryeburg.

“Nearly four years after Mainers approved marijuana legalization at the ballot box, the will of the people will finally be effectuated,” said Marijuana Policy Project Deputy Director Matthew Schweich, one of the leaders of the 2016 campaign.

Wonderful news if you like increased crash rates, more bicyclists and pedestrians being run over and users being admitted to hospitals for "psychiatric events" . But that's O,K, because they tax it right? No I am not misinformed.
