The Maine Office of Marijuana Policy has adopted final rules regarding the cultivation, manufacture, sale and use of adult use marijuana in Maine. These rules will take effect on December 6, 2019. Municipalities that have been holding off on passing marijuana-related ordinances while awaiting the adult use rules may find this a good time to restart the process. However, the law remains that adult use marijuana facilities may not locate in a community that has not “opted in” to adult use marijuana by passing a town meeting article or ordinance to allow them in some or all areas of towns. For facilities looking to locate in towns that have already opted in, applications for state licenses will be available starting December 5, 2019.
Here is a link to the adopted rules.
