Freedom’s Just Another Word For Losing 2,000 Cannabis Plants In Maine Police Raid

Police in Maine seized nearly 2,000 live cannabis plants from a home in the town of Freedom on Monday, in what they’re calling the latest major growing operation bust in the state in recent months. Freedom is a small rural town in Central Maine; population 697.

Members of the Maine State Police Tactical Team and local sheriff’s office executed a search warrant at the home after an investigation identified there was an illegal marijuana growing operation there, reported local ABC outlet WMTW.

The bust occurred just three days after 1,200 cannabis plants were found and seized from an illegal grow operation in Harmony, another small Maine town, this one with a population of 825.
