cannabis products have been legal in maine for medicinal purposes for years. licensed medical cardholders are allowed to purchase cannabis through a registered dispensary or through certified caregivers. almost four years ago – even before the referendum – brannen predicted a need for better accountancy in an industry that comes with its own set of complications. read more →
