If you are a resident of Maine, you can apply for a free medical marijuanas card. You can register online or you can print out the application and mail it. The process is relatively easy. It takes about two to three weeks for the MMMP to review your paperwork and send you the identification card.
To qualify for a Maine medical marijuanas card, you must be over the age of 18. You must show proof of residency in Maine.
Your physician must complete a certification form. He or she must write a recommendation that you are likely to benefit from medical marijuana.
For minors under the age of 18, you must have parental consent. A parent or legal guardian will also have to fill out a caregiver designation form. This form will include the names of the patient and the caregiver, as well as information on the relationship between the patient and the caregiver.
Adults aged 21 or older can grow up to three plants at home. However, you must have a commercial license to cultivate more than three.
Maine does not allow recreational use of marijuana. However, it does allow for the purchase of five grams of concentrates. The tax on cannabis products is 15.5%. In addition, the state has a limit of 2.5 ounces of usable marijuana.
Qualifying conditions vary from state to state. For example, PTSD is not considered a qualifying condition in Maine. Likewise, depression and clinical anxiety are not included in the list.
