AUGUSTA, Maine — The campaign that opposed a referendum seeking to legalize marijuana for recreational use in Maine abandoned its recount effort Saturday afternoon, clearing the way for Maine to become the latest state to allow use of the drug for nonmedical purposes.
The citizen-initiated legalization effort appeared as Question 1 on the Nov. 8 ballot. Unofficial results showed the question winning by less than 1 percentage point, the closest contest on a ballot that included four other citizen-initiated referendums and a bond question.
That narrow margin prompted opponents of legalization — organized as Mainers Protecting Our Youth and Communities — to ask the secretary of state to conduct a statewide recount.
After a weekslong process that required ballots from all over the state to be collected and delivered to Augusta, the recount began earlier this month.

Oh they get a recount for being against cannabis. Yet can't get a recount for the highest national office.

Definitely excited when I saw this earlier today, the whole recount was BS from the beginning.

I think Trump FDA guy is pro pot-- libertarian. You'll have to google for more info.
I think if Trump can make money off it then it might have a chance.

Really? I'll look into that, but I can't recall ever seeing it anywhere.
