Maine medical marijuana possession and purchase limits
- Possession: Up to 8 pounds of harvested cannabis
- Purchases: No purchase limit for Maine patients in the statute; visiting patients may buy up to 2.5 oz every 15 days
- Home grow: 6 mature plants, 12 immature plants and unlimited seedlings
How limits are tracked
Dispensaries check purchases against the state system, so going over a limit usually isn't possible at the counter. Limits apply per patient; caregivers buy within their patients' limits.
How Maine compares
Adults 21+ can also buy recreationally in Maine, usually with lower limits than patients.
