Nicolas Mackiewicz enjoys the music at an outdoor party on Wednesday at the Weed Mart in Lewiston to celebrate 420, an annual marijuana holiday celebrated on April 20. Mackiewicz, who uses medical marijuana to treat a non-verbal disability, says that the Weed Mart is his favorite store, in that the staff accepts his disability without judgment. “It’s medical, but it’s also family,” Mackiewicz said.
