Opponents of Maine’s marijuana ballot measure organizing
New opposition has emerged in the debate about Question 5, a proposed expansion of the state’s medical-marijuana law that would allow nonprofit dispensaries to distribute the drug. Don LaRouche, of Madison, a medical-marijuana patient, and the Maine Prosecutors Association recently took public stands against the measure, which will be on the Nov. 3 ballot. LaRouche said he’s the spokesman for Maine Citizens for Medical Marijuana, an offshoot of Maine Vocals, a group that has for years wanted to legalize marijuana.
