Last week, a column ran in this space ("The Changes to Maine's Medical Marijuana Industry Are Very, Very Bad," by Sam Haiden in the February 15 issue) that made some erroneous claims about the position Legalize Maine — the organization that successfully campaigned to legalize recreational marijuana in 2016 — holds concerning the potential merger of the medical and recreational industries.

In short, Legalize Maine's position remains unchanged, doesn’t think the industries should be merged, but they’re part of a coalition that’s ambivalent if it does.
