Maine's voters approved a measure by a margin of 59% to 41% to make it the fifth state to allow retail pot dispensaries, expanding its existing ten year-old medical marijuana law. Maine now joins California, Colorado, New Mexico and Rhode Island

pot. Unlike California's more free-wheeling system, Maine law will
require that dispensaries be licensed by the state and more narrowly
defines medical conditions for which patients can be prescribed pot.
Along with giving a roundup of the range of initiatives on the ballot in this off-year election, this Dispatch will give special focus to the campaigns against TABOR and defending relationship equality laws.
