‘Voters in Maine narrowly approved marijuana legalization last November, and since then, the state legislature has been busily trying to come up with rules and regulations for the legal weed market. Now, they are envisioning something of a rarity: allowing customers to buy their weed at drive-up windows.
Of the five states that currently allow legal adult marijuana sales—Alaska, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington—only Oregon and Colorado allow for drive-through sales. California, where sales are set to begin January 1, had drive-through sales written into draft regulations, but those proposed regs have had to be pulled and rewritten to comply with a state law merging the recreational and medical markets. Still, drive-through sales may survive the regulatory process there. Massachusetts hasn’t directly addressed the issue, leaving it up to its Cannabis Control Commission to figure out before the state begins sales next summer.For a measure whose mantra was “treat marijuana like alcohol,” allowing drive-through pot sales seems like a no-brainer.’
