The Office of Marijuana Policy, a part of the Maine Department of Administrative and Financial Services, announced Tuesday the issuance of Maine’s first active licenses for adult use cannabis establishments.
OMP issued six active licenses Tuesday comprised of three cultivation facilities, two cannabis stores, and one cannabis testing facility. The issuance of active licenses continues Maine’s structured rollout of its new adult use industry and moves Maine closer to the start of retail sales to the public.
Starting on Friday, October 9, active retail license holders will be permitted to engage in sales to consumers 21 years of age or older.
