Like many states across the United States in the early 20^th century, Maine banned the use and possession of cannabis. As one of a number of US states to legalize cannabis during the 2016 US General Election, Maine became one of the first 10 states in the United States to make it legal to possess and use cannabis on a recreational basis.

History

Maine enacted a prohibition on the use of cannabis in 1913, but by 1976 had reversed course to decriminalize small amounts of cannabis. In 1999, it was among the early wave of US states enacting medical marijuana laws that allowed patients to receive cannabis with a doctors prescription. Maine actually went as far as allowing patients to grow their own plants. In 2016, Maine voters passed Question 1 on the general election ballot by less than 1% point for the Yes vote to legalize the recreational cannabis possession and use, as well as commercial sale of the drug with a 10% tax to be collected on each transaction.
