Maine Task Force Approves Medical Marijuana Distribution
Plan
PROJECT WOULD BE FIRST OF ITS KIND IN THE U.S.
Augusta, Maine -- Maine's Medical
Marijuana Task Force adopted its final report on Wednesday, which includes a
proposal to the state legislature to establish a non-profit center to distribute
medical marijuana.
The report, prepared for the
legislature's Joint Standing Committee on Health and Human Services and Criminal
Justice, explains how the state can legally oversee medical marijuana
distribution despite conflicts with federal law. By a vote of 16-11, the task
force favored a legislative proposal to create a pilot program through which a
centralized medical marijuana distribution center would serve registered
patients. A board composed of community members would administer the center.
The task force was appointed by the
Maine Department of Attorney General to evaluate strategies for implementing the
medical marijuana ballot initiative that passed in November 1999. The new state
law allows patients to grow and use medical marijuana, but distribution issues
were left un-addressed, due to federal conflicts.
If the task force's proposal becomes
law, Maine would be the first state to officially sanction a distribution
center. Similar centers have been approved by about a dozen local governments
across California, but no state government has yet taken this bold step.
"I'm sick and tired of the threat of the Federal Government," said
Maine Sheriff's Association President Mark Westrum, who served on the task
force, according to the minutes of the task force's meeting on September 13.
"If the state authorizes a medical
marijuana distribution center, it would be a win-win situation," said Chuck
Thomas, director of communications for the Washington, D.C.-based Marijuana
Policy Project. "The federal government will probably ignore it --
which would help countless patients in Maine and inspire other states to adopt
similar laws. On the other hand, if the DEA raids the center, they would then
have to argue in federal court that the people of Maine must submit to the
dictates of federal bureaucrats. Photos of federal agents pointing guns at
cancer patients would only hasten our efforts to finally change federal
law."
In addition to Sheriff Westrum, the
distribution proposal was also supported by Maine Chiefs of Police Association
President Joe Rogers and Maine Hospice Council representative Candyce Powell.
Seven of the 10 state legislators who
served on the task force also approved the proposal, including Sen. Anne
Rand (D-Cumberland) and Rep. Michael Quint (D-Portland), who are preparing
to introduce legislation to establish the medical marijuana distribution center.
