As a Mainer, I hope you guys do too. Trust me, you’ll feel so much better and you’ll get a little bit more tax revenue.

You're free to do what you want. Just don't post it on social media, and you're generally fine.

They just have to tax it at lower rate than MA,ME and VT. Your biggest problem will be competing on price. I can already buy once’s for as cheap as $120 tax free in Maine and MA.
