Maine PHA Reconsiders Medical Marijuana Decision

Six public housing residents recently were told by the Maine State Housing Authority that they would have to stop growing/using medical marijuana in their homes or will lose housing assistance. The board of commissioners voted 4-3 last month not to allow the use, possession, or cultivation of medical marijuana in apartments subsidized through its Section 8 program. It agreed, however, to hear additional comments at an Oct. 15th meeting.
