Maine Law

Maine Law, formally known as the "Maine Medical Use of Marijuana Act," allows patients with qualifying medical conditions to use marijuana for therapeutic purposes. It regulates the growth, distribution, and possession of medical marijuana and establishes a framework for licensed caregivers to provide cannabis to patients. The law emphasizes patient safety, access, and responsible use while still adhering to federal regulations, which classify marijuana as illegal. Maine also has laws concerning recreational use, following a separate ballot initiative, reflecting evolving attitudes toward cannabis in society.
