State Votes to Expand Medical Marijuana; Two "dry" towns go wet

Add Maine to the list of states that will be ramping up medical marijuana.

It wasn't the most high-profile referendum question in the Pine Tree State -- that went to the gay marriage issue, which was defeated -- but Maine voters approved, 59% to 41%, to expand its medical marijuana law.

For 10 years, Maine has made it legal for patients to grow their own marijuana or have someone grow it for them. Tuesday's approval widens the number of conditions that can be treated by medical marijuana and creates a delivery system through dispensaries.

Police and prosecutors, who came out against the referendum question, say they're worried that the marijuana will be used for other uses.

Meanwhile, the "dry" town of Friendship, Maine, has decided to allow beer and wine sales for the first time in 90 years. Voters, in the fourth referendum in 20 years, decided to allow sales in the coastal town.

So too was another town, Winona, Texas, which voted Tuesday to approve off-premise alcohol sales.
