Recreational cannabis is legal in Maine, but there are several benefits to having a Maine medical marijuana card, including:
With Leafwell, it is quick, simple, and secure to get a Maine Medical Marijuana Card online.
Maine legalized medical marijuana use ahead of many states, with 62% voting "Yes" to Question 2 on November 2, 1999.
The Marijuana Legalization Act was passed on November 8, 2016, permitting recreational cannabis use.
How to qualify
You must be 18 to get a Maine medical marijuana card for yourself. Caregivers must be aged 21 or over and can apply on behalf of a minor patient (under 18).
Applicants can either be residents of Maine or visiting qualifying patients. Patients who are visiting must already have their Registry Identification Card from their home state, provide a copy of their photo identification card, their certification from their home state, and a copy of the visiting qualifying provider certification provided by Maine.
Caregivers must be aged 21 or over and can apply on behalf of a minor patient (under 18).
Medical Conditions
Qualifying Conditions have been removed from Maine’s Medical Marijuana Program as per LD 1539 and LD 238.
If a medical professional thinks a Medical Marijuana Treatment Program will benefit the patient’s condition, the medical professional can certify the patient for Medical Marijuana. The provider must be registered with the Division of Licensing & Regulatory Services (DLRS) through the Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS) to issue certifications for patients.
While there are no specific qualifying criteria for a medical marijuana card in Maine, this doesn’t mean that there aren’t some rules. If you are seeking cannabis for chronic pain in Maine, for example, then you will need to prove that other treatment methods have not proven successful in the past six months.
The possession limits in Maine are the same for those with or without an MMJ Card:
Despite the MMJ card not coming with more generous cannabis possession limits than the law allows recreational users, there are many reasons why we recommend securing an MMJ card if applicable, including:
You can cultivate up to three mature cannabis plants, 12 immature plants, and an unlimited number of seedlings. You will need to have a commercial license to grow more, and we cannot provide these at Leafwell.
Caregivers
Some patients may be eligible for an MMJ Card but unable to apply for one themselves. For example, should the patient be a minor under 18, or if the patient needs assistance accessing medical cannabis, a caregiver can be assigned to complete the process on their behalf.
01
If a patient needs a medical marijuana certificate and card for a minor under the age of 18 or an adult who cannot otherwise access medical cannabis, they will need a Caregiver. Caregivers must be aged 21 or over and have no convictions relating to drugs, narcotics, or scheduled substances.
02
The registry cost for caregivers is $300 per patient, plus $31 for the criminal background check.
03
Caregiver designation form needs to be filled out, giving information about the Caregiver, Patient, and whether or not you will be cultivating.
04
Those cultivating will need to register cultivation location, dispensing location, and caregiver information.
