Maine has de-criminalized marijuana use for personal consumption, and it is on the referendum for legalization of recreational use for those over 21. The possesion limit is 2.5 oz per persons or 3 plants for the bill waiting to be voted on, it will reach the publics vote in November of next year, 2014. This will most likely pass, it has already received green light from all sides of the isle, making it to the referendum was the hard part, the easy part is the public voting. For a persons 21 years of age or older, they can posses currently with no jail minimum sentence as follows,
Less than 2.5 oz - civil violation - $ 600 - no jail time. Cultivation for non medical citizens is not legal until it is legalized for recreational use, but the possession is no longer a mandatory jail sentence or misdemeanor, but a "infraction" that is restricted to fines only. I've ordered about $200 in seeds from attitude, shipped to north and south maine, there isn't any risk; but its good idea to put "guaranteed delivery" or whatever through the seedbanks buying options ect, this way they will reship no matter if it gets taken or not. The seed packages I've seen opened by customs on the forums has been confiscated but the original buyer does not face a penalty, the checks on the packages seem to be random and not targeted specifically at attitude, some people say using certain method didn't, preferred envelope over plastic purple bag (tshirt purchases ect). All my seeds made it here without any problems though, passed customs normally. Your going to be tight on time to even veg her n get her out there in time, being a first grow. You have specific soil or did you just scoop stuff outside? I would check into a cheap pH meter to control your vegging water source for the beginning period.
