Maine to Begin Recreational Marijuana Sales by March 2020
By Patrick Whittle, Associated Press (AP) — Maine marijuana enthusiasts will probably be able to purchase their preferred products in retail stores by March 2020 after years of waiting.

Mexico to Vote On Marijuana Legalization by End of October
Mexico’s lawmakers are expected to vote this week on a bill to legalize marijuana. In 2018, the Mexico Supreme Court told lawmakers they had until Oct. 24 to legalize marijuana, VOANews reported.

Some lawmakers have proposed that the Mexican government tightly regulate the future marijuana market, while others propose a more open, free market. Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has shown signs of support for decriminalizing marijuana.

Legalizing Marijuana Has “Minimal to No Effect” on Crime Ratet
According to new data from the journal Justice Quarterly, the legalization of adult-use marijuana possession and sales is not linked with any significant or long-term increase in criminal activity. Researchers affiliated with Washington State University assessed monthly average crime rates in Colorado and Washington in the wake of cannabis legalization compared to other states, NORML noted. In particular, they examined data for violent crimes, property crimes, auto thefts, and robberies. “[M]arijuana legalization and sales have had minimal to no effect on major crimes in Colorado or Washington,” the study noted. “We observed no statistically significant long-term effects of recreational cannabis laws or the initiation of retail sales on violent or property crime rates in these states. … Th...
