Without concessions, they promise to continue to thwart a committee’s attempt to legalize recreational marijuana businesses.

Lawmakers say the rules for the marijuana market will help implement the will of Maine voters, but the governor, an opponent of marijuana, may not go along.

The committee that’s drafting regulations for Maine’s legal recreational market endorses the bill 13-2, but some lawmakers are concerned about Gov. LePage’s opposition to legalization.

The oversight committee adopts stricter residency requirements for licensing; broadens allowances for growing pot; and preserves the 12-plant limit on adult-use grows.

Medical marijuana caregivers turn out in force to urge changes to Maine’s Marijuana Legalization Act to prevent adult-use laws from interfering with their program.
