Questions
Can I get a Maine medical marijuana card online?
Yes. Maine allows the certifying visit to happen by video for new patients and renewals. The doctor must hold a Maine medical license.
What do I need for the video visit?
A photo ID, proof that you live in Maine (your license usually works), a phone or computer with a camera, and a quiet private place.
Is an online certification as valid as an in-person one?
Yes — where Maine allows telehealth, the certification is the same one an in-office doctor would file.
