3. Tell people the bill affects
Most people don't hear about a state-level bill until enforcement starts. A short note now (not a thread, just a link) gives the people most affected time to plan.
This bill prevents individuals and companies linked to organized crime from participating in Maine's medical and adult-use cannabis programs. It prohibits the state from issuing or renewing licenses and registration certificates to applicants or facilities identified by law enforcement as associated with organized crime within the past five years. The bill also requires the revocation of existing licenses and registrations if such an association is found.
