No doubt about it — Maine marijuana is big business. And if you want so much as a scrid of it, you have to know the Maine cannabis regulations. Maine medical cannabis can only be sold to individuals who have received a patient certification from a medical professional, and it can only be accessed from a caregiver or dispensary licensed for medical marijuana. As far as Maine recreational cannabis goes, in order to use or possess it, you have to be 21 or older. That’s it.
While Maine is home to both a medical cannabis program and an adult-use industry, Maine cannabis regulations state the two different types may not be dispensed from the same facility. Adults can possess up to 2.5 ounces total —- this can be of cannabis, cannabis concentrate, or any other cannabis product in combination, but no more than 5 grams of concentrate. It may only be consumed on private property and not in any public places including the roads and sidewalks. No operating a vehicle while high, no smoking in the car — this goes for both the driver and passengers.
