Legalize Adult Recreational Marijuana in Maine
We are the team of LegalizeMaine, and are collecting 62,000 written signatures on an official people's initiative petition, in order to get the measure on the 2016 ballot in Maine. If you sign this MoveOn petition, we will get a petition to you to sign so you can help us get the LegalizeMaine people's initiative on the ballot for 2016.
Why is this important?
Maine has had medical marijuana since 1998. Legalizing adult recreational use of marijuana will create a whole new economic sector for the state, and will decrease arrests and incarceration for marijuana offenses, thereby creating needed criminal justice reform. It is time for the nonsensical prohibition of what is essentially a plant to end. Personal freedom, economic possibilities and criminal justice fairness demand it.
