How To Buy Marijuana in Maine as a Recreational User?
**I’m not a lawyer or official, and have summarized the laws/statutes that I’ve found on Maine government websites. If you have any doubt as to the legality of something, consult an official person!**
Maine residents 21 and older can now legally buy marijuana as an adult. However, they cannot consume the drug in public or in a vehicle. You can and will be arrested for public use or OUI (operating under the influence).
Side note: Marijuana remains illegal under federal law. Yep. As crazy as it sounds, marijuana is apparently still illegal under federal law (2022).
The state allows adults who are at least 21 years old to buy two ounces of marijuana every day from a licensed dispensary (no medical card required). The state also allows people to grow/have up to three mature, 12 immature, and unlimited seedling marijuana plants at home.
The law only allows adult users to purchase marijuana. You can still get arrested for giving marijuana to a minor, even if they are an approved user under the law because a caregiver applied for a medical marijuana card for them.

What Type Of Products Are Available for Purchase?
I’m definitely no Jim Ignatowski, but all the recreational dispensaries in Maine carry their preferred products, so you might want to try different things from different dispensaries. Here’s a Taxi clip for those who don’t know Rev. Jim. (I didn’t know how to shorten the video, but the scene ends at ~2:25)
Each dispensary will carry different products, but here is a list of typical products you might find at a dispensary:
➡️ Edibles are foods infused with THC. They are meant for ingestion and can be eaten or drunk.
➡️ Concentrates are oils, waxes, or salts that have been extracted from plants. They are meant for vaporization, inhalation, or sublingual application.
➡️ Flowers are the leaves and buds from the marijuana plant and are meant in bud form.
➡️ Tinctures are liquids intended to be ingested sublingually or taken by mouth.
➡️ Other products include marijuana-infused beverages, marijuana-infused topical creams, marijuana-infused sprays, marijuana-infused suppositories, and marijuana-infused vitamins.

Basic Maine Laws About Marijuana Purchase & Use
The law only allows adult users to purchase marijuana. You can still get arrested for giving marijuana to a minor, even if they are an approved user under the law because a caregiver applied for a medical marijuana card for them.
You are also not allowed to take marijuana out of Maine. Technically. It’s not like they stop you at the NH border, but they *will* stop you at the Canadian border.
You are also not allowed to mail any to anywhere. Buy it and use it here. Just don’t use it in Acadia National Park, which is federal land and you will be breaking federal law.
Don’t use it in a vehicle, either.
Use it only in your private space. Note: As with cigarette smoking, the owner of a rental unit may prohibit use on their property.
Important if you are visiting Acadia National Park
Because pot is illegal according to the federal government, you are not allowed to even possess it if you are on federal land or in a National Park, like, oh, Acadia. Leave it in your hotel room just in case.

Recreational vs Medicinal Marijuana In Maine
Maine originally only had medical marijuana dispensaries. Now that recreational use is legal, there are both medical and recreational dispensaries in Maine. A dispensary may not sell both types from the same location.
I’ve also been told that medical cannabis is less expensive than recreational cannabis.
From what I understand, and I could be wrong, is that dispensaries that are medical only can add recreational to their license, but can only sell to people with medical marijuana cards.
