Cannabis Policy in Maine

Back in November 2016, Maine was one of four states to pass a legalization initiative, alongside California, Massachusetts and Nevada, but unfortunately was the last of those states to actually launch adult-use sales.

Cannabis is what we do! We even have High Times Hemp Cup Awards to prove it!

There is good news though, that after years of frustration and numerous delays, adult-use cannabis sales have finally begun as of October 9th 2020.

Like Maine's close east coast neighbors, their regulations are in line with Delta 8 THC in West Virginia and Delta 8 THC in Connecticut. It really seems like the politicians governing the state of Maine are open to anything hemp!
