Got an email from MMCOnline today. They outline six new bills that have apparently passed in Maine. I found the one about selling excess to a dispensary interesting. About time for that one.
Six new medical marijuana bills have become law this summer.
MMCM worked with Representative Paul Gilbert of Jay to pass LD 1404, An Act To Ensure the Integrity of Maines Medical Marijuana Program .
The new law allows caregivers to have one employee.
It also allows caregivers to donate excess marijuana to patients.
This law goes into effect immediately.
The DHHS and Dispensary operators succeeded in passing LD1531, An Act To Maintain Access to Safe Medical Marijuana , sponsored by Senator Tom Saviello.
The new law limits dispensaries and caregivers to using minimum risk pesticides that are exempt from federal regulation under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, Section 25(b). The full list is at www.mmcmonline.org.
This bill goes into effect immediately.
MMCM worked with Representatives Elizabeth Dickerson and Mark Dion to pass LD 1062, An Act To Add Conditions That Qualify for Medical Marijuana Use .
Check out the Free Press article on the bill, Local Combat Veteran Believes Medicinal Marijuana Can Help Treat PTSD."
The bill will add PTSD, inflammatory bowel disease, dyskinetic and spastic movement disorders, and other diseases causing severe and persistent muscle spasms to those for which a doctor is allowed to recommend medical use of marijuana. The law goes into effect on September 26, 2013.
LD 1462, An Act To Clarify and Correct Provisions of the Maine Medical Use of Marijuana Act , will allow maintenance workers in a grow room, and remove the requirement that caregivers tag plants with a patient's name (though it will require some numerical identification). The law goes into effect on September 27, 2013.
LD 480, An Act To Establish Fees under the Maine Medical Use of Marijuana Act, sponsored by Representative Deb Sanderson, will place limits on the fees the DHHS can charge caregivers and dispensaries. The law goes into effect October 3, 2013.
LD1423, An Act To Amend the Medical Marijuana Law Regarding Excess Harvested Marijuana, sponsored by Representative Craig Hickman, will allow registered caregivers to sell up to 2 pounds of marijuana a year to dispensaries. The law goes into effect October 3, 2013.
Thanks to everyone who contacted their legislators and gave testimony on these bills. It's only through your active support and involvement that we can continue to make sure the laws work for Maine patients and caregivers.
