Northern pot center now open
The first medical marijuana facility on the East Coast is now open in Frenchville.
Safe Alternatives has opened its cultivation facility on Route 1 in the Aroostook County town, according to news channel WCSH-6. The center looks like a typical house and has no signage save a handwritten note asking people to leave packages on the porch. Cameras and floodlights operate 24/7 at the property, but some residents are concerned about the operation's appearance and security. The town of Frenchville is working on a proposed ordinance that would impose stricter regulations on medical marijuana cultivation facilities than the state requires, according to the news channel.
Safe Alternatives in July received a state license as a medical marijuana dispensary. The nonprofit last month said it would soon begin delivering its first crop of marijuana from its cultivation facility, and would soon open a storefront in Eagle Lake.
