Maine has the slowest rollout of recreational weed legalization in US History. Voters in the state approved legalization almost 5 years ago in 2016. Legislation slowed down the progress of the bill by requesting various amendments. Gubernatorial vetoes, the pandemic as well as a change in government administration prevented the quick legislative approval of this bill.
