Maine economy bears brunt of lost pot sales
by Ruth Leubecker
Although a handful of pot shops regularly conduct business Downeast, they all sell medical marijuana, not recreational or adult use, because after three years Maine is still not ready to authorize those sales. In the meantime, the town of Machias is preparing for the state rollout by drafting an ordinance, which will then be presented to the voters.
There are presently four cannabis shops in Machias, all licensed to sell medical marijuana: Lake Smoke, Indian Trail, Bold Coast Cannabis and Smoke Solutions.
