Maine adult-use cannabis storefronts are open to any customer 21 and older with valid government-issued photo ID, including out-of-state visitors. Maine medical cannabis program access is generally limited to Maine-resident patients with Maine-issued certifications.
Step 1. Bring valid government-issued photo ID
Maine adult-use storefronts accept any unexpired government-issued photo ID showing age 21 or older: driver's license from any state, U.S. passport, U.S. military ID, U.S. passport card, or any state-issued ID.
Step 2. Pick a Cannabis Cured adult-use storefront
Nine licensed adult-use storefronts span Maine: Fairfield (HQ), Portland (Old Port, closest to most coastal visitors), Bangor (Penobscot region), Bethel (Sunday River ski region), Eliot (border crossing from Portsmouth NH), Damariscotta (Midcoast), Sugarloaf (Carrabassett Valley), Thomaston (Knox County), and Stratton (Western Mountains, currently temporarily closed).
Step 3. Shop the adult-use menu
Adult-use menus include Cannabis Cured Maine-grown flower (Northern Grown), edibles (Sugarloaf Springs), Nectr infused sodas, concentrates, vapes, pre-rolls, tinctures, and topicals. Order online for pickup at /menu/{storefront-slug} or shop in store.
Step 4. Do not transport across state lines
Federal law and Maine OCP rules prohibit transport of Maine-purchased cannabis across state lines. Consume or dispose of any cannabis before crossing into another state. Maine cannabis purchased legally in Maine becomes federally illegal the moment it crosses a state border.
Step 5. Driving and public consumption
Do not drive after consuming. Maine treats driving under the influence of cannabis as a criminal offense. Public cannabis consumption is generally prohibited under Maine OCP rules.
