The Office of Cannabis Policy's (OCP's) listening tour is a significant step in the process of becoming more engaged, transparent, and accessible to all of our stakeholders. Each event provides an opportunity for medical and adult use cannabis program participants, municipalities, and members of the public to ask questions, share feedback, and learn more about Maine's regulated cannabis programs.
