This thread is open regarding 22 MRSA Chapter 558-C; the new Maine Medical Marijuana Act. In the next 120 days (from Nov. 4th) the Maine legislature will need to write the rules which will become law governing MMJ in Maine. These include:
-the steps needed to add conditions to the existing list of treatable conditions, -the rules governing the application and renewal of licensing for patients
-the rules governing the application and renewal of licensing for dispensaries
(sec. 2424, sec. 2428 sub. 3)
The uses for which MMJ is legal in Maine are:
2. Debilitating medical condition.
"Debilitating medical condition" means:
A. Cancer, glaucoma, positive status for human immunodeficiency virus, acquired immune deficiency syndrome, hepatitis C, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Crohn's disease, agitation of Alzheimer's disease, nail-patella syndrome or the treatment of these conditions;
B. A chronic or debilitating disease or medical condition or its treatment that
produces intractable pain, which is pain that has not responded to ordinary medical or surgical measures for more than 6 months;
C. A chronic or debilitating disease or medical condition or its treatment that
produces one or more of the following: cachexia or wasting syndrome; severe nausea; seizures, including but not limited to those characteristic of epilepsy; or severe and persistent muscle spasms, including but not limited to those characteristic of multiple sclerosis; or
D. Any other medical condition or its treatment approved by the department as provided for in section 2424, subsection 2.
This means that there is still a lot up in the air concerning MMJ in Maine. Please post and discuss on this thread if you have a desire to impact the future of MMJ in Maine for the better; all opinions and ideas are welcome.
