Maine has two different marijuana programs: medical and recreational. And the rules are different for each one.

Medical Marijuana Program: cultivates, produces, and sells medical marijuana and medical marijuana products to qualifying patients that hold a certificate from a medical provider for use of medical marijuana to treat or alleviate a medical diagnosis or symptoms.  Medical marijuana patients can include children,  individuals with serious medical conditions such as cancer, Parkinson’s Disease, Epilepsy, and immunocompromised individuals

Adult Use (Recreational) Marijuana Program: cultivates, produces and sells marijuana and marijuana products for recreational use by individuals 21 years of age or older.
