Coronavirus Delays Maine Recreational Marijuana Market Launch
The long-delayed rollout of Maine's recreational cannabis market is being delayed yet again. On Friday, the state's Office of Marijuana Policy (OMP) announced that its opening won't occur this spring, as was the most recently stated goal. The reason is the same for virtually every business hiatus in these times -- the rapidly spreading SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus that has put the world economy at a virtual standstill.
On the same day as its announcement, OMP sent a letter to businesses potentially involved in the recreational marijuana trade. In the document, it said that because of the coronavirus the planned spring market launch "is simply unrealistic."
