Portland Daily Sun, 27 Jun 2013 – Maine residents suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder will soon be allowed to treat their symptoms with medical marijuana if their doctors recommend it, an advocacy group reported Wednesday. A bill adding PTSD to the list of qualifying conditions for medical marijuana, LD 1062, became law Tuesday without the governor’s signature, according to the Marijuana Policy Project. A similar measure was signed into law earlier this month in Oregon, and medical marijuana is currently allowed in the treatment of PTSD in California, Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts and New Mexico, the group reported.

US ME: Public Hearing Set On Effort To Decriminalize Marijuana In
Portland Daily Sun, 18 Jun 2013 – The City Council is ready to hear what Portland residents have to say about an effort to decriminalize marijuana in the city. The council set a public hearing for a proposed ordinance that aims to decriminalize recreational marijuana use in Portland, after receiving a petition to put the question to a referendum. The hearing, which is set for July 15, will collect input on the proposed ordinance that would legalize the recreational use of marijuana for adults who are 21 years of age or older. The Citizens for a Safer Portland Coalition attained 2,508 valid signatures through a petition drive to get the question on the ballot so Portland voters can decide on decriminalization.
