WATERVILLE For Tally Leavitt, being able to walk into an adult-use marijuana store to legally buy products is the realization of a longtime dream.
Leavitt, 63, was one of the first customers Wednesday at Sweet Dirt, the first adult-use store in Kennebec County which opened at 475 Kennedy Memorial Drive.
“I was one of the group of people that, years ago, did the first smoke-in outside the courthouse in Skowhegan, protesting for the legalization of marijuana,” Leavitt, of Waterville, said. “I just kind of chuckle at it now, because I always tell my kids I remember when we tried to get that legalized and here it is, legalized. This is the first time I’ve ever been in a marijuana facility.”
