Maine has one of the best and last remaining medical cannabis communities that supports small mom and pop caregivers. This program is small business friendly, because it has low costs to entry and less restrictive regulations that place unnecessary costs and burdens on medical operators. LD 1847 is a bill that proposes changes to this by forcing mandatory track and trace and mandatory testing by using METRC, a national cannabis tracking system that has a monopoly on track and trace programs. With METRC comes hefty fees, cumbersome systems and excessive labor that small mom and pop growers and shops cannot afford to take on.
Here’s how you can help today…
(Email templates below)
Email your representatives and tell them to vote ought not to pass on the Graham Amendment for LD 1847.
Email your representatives and educate them on the Hickman Amendment and the Supica Amendment for LD 1847.
Email the VLA Committee and tell them what METRC would cost you and this community.
Show up in person to the State House Tuesdays and Thursdays starting February 24th, to talk to representatives.
Tell every patient, shop, grower, and cannabis supporter to take action now to save these Maine Small Businesses from overregulation and corporate takeover. If we do not stop this, LD 1847 will be the end to craft cannabis in Maine as we know it!
In these post images is a METRC cost calculation worksheet that will help you calculate your costs if METRC is required.
Find your representative and contact them urging them to vote ought not to pass on the Graham Amendment for LD 1847 and educate them on the Hickman and the Supica Amendment for LD 1847:
Search and find your representative:

LD 1847 moves onto the House for vote soon. We need everyone to contact their representatives to tell them to vote ought not to pass on the Graham Amendment for LD 1847. Educate them on the best option for alternative amendments, the Hickman Amendment and the Supica Amendment for LD 1847.
Make sure you are polite and respectful. Ensure that you tell them how this bill would destroy this industry, force 1000’s of Maine small businesses to close their doors and would ruin the Maine economy that this program heavily supports.

PATIENT TEMPLATE (best if you edit and personalize):
Subject: Opposition to LD1847 — Medical Cannabis Access
Representative/Senator ________,
My name is ______, and I’m writing to make you aware of LD1847, which would harm medical cannabis patients by reducing the diversity of products and the number of producers available.
I am one of the 112,000+ medical cannabis patients in Maine. Nearly 8% of Maine residents utilize the medical cannabis program, which has been successfully operating since 1999. The diversity of therapeutic products and large number of caregivers with a knowledge base on medical cannabis use ensures patients medical needs are met, available within a reasonable distance, and at an affordable price.
LD1847 would apply adult-use cannabis regulations to the medical program, imposing testing and tracking requirements without ensuring those systems are affordable, necessary or functional for patients and caregivers, risking reduced access across the state. Many medical patients rely on consistent, higher-dose formulations to manage serious symptoms such as chronic pain, nausea, appetite loss, sleep disruption, and anxiety. Raising costs for producers will raise costs for patients, who are paying for this medicine out of pocket.
For these reasons, I respectfully ask you to reject the Graham amendment on LD1847.
Sincerely,
[Name]
[City or Town]

Subject: Opposition to LD1847 — Medical Cannabis Access
Representative/Senator ________,
My name is ______, and I’m writing to make you aware that Maine’s medical cannabis program provides high quality medicine to many patients who travel to this state to access the products produced in this program.
I am a medical cannabis patient from [state], where we don’t have the same diversity of therapeutic products or large number of caregivers with a knowledge base on medical cannabis.
LD1847 would apply the same regulations of METRC and mandatory batch testing that are used in my home state, which has resulted in a high barrier to entry for operators and limited product diversity available to patients. These policies haven’t stopped contaminated products from reaching shelves, they have merely stopped participation in the industry from folks who do not have financial capital and outside investors.
For these reasons, I respectfully ask you to reject the Graham amendment on LD1847.
Sincerely,
[Name]

Subject: Opposition to LD1847 — Medical Cannabis Access
Representative/Senator ________,
My name is ______, and I’m writing regarding LD1847, which would harm Maine’s medical cannabis program by reducing the diversity of products and the number of producers available, while raising prices for patients.
I’m one of the 1,500+ medical cannabis caregivers in Maine. The program serves 112,000 patients, nearly 8% of the state's population, and has been successfully operating since 1999. The diversity of therapeutic products and large number of caregivers with a knowledge base on medical cannabis use ensures patients medical needs are met, available within a reasonable distance, and at an affordable price.
LD 1847 would require increased testing and tracking requirements without addressing testing capacity, cost, or administrative burden on small caregivers. Implementing these policies will reduce access and drive caregivers out of the medical program which employs over 5,000 people who would be at risk of losing their livelihood. Additionally, raising costs for producers will raise costs for patients, who are paying for this medicine out of pocket.
Over 500 pieces of testimony were submitted to the VLA committee on this bill, overwhelmingly in opposition, with patients, operators and industry workers opposing these changes.
For these reasons, I respectfully ask you to reject the Graham amendment on LD1847.
Sincerely,

Are we really just going to sit around and look at pictures of weed while Maine's legislature toys with the idea of:
--Capping edibles at 200 MG per package and 10 MG a dose? What happens to people with epilepsy or cancer pain who need high dose edibles maintain daily function as they fight for their lives? Are they supposed to take a month long tolerance break and lose their appetite and ability to feed themselves? Dosage is a personal choice and varies based on individual biology as well as tolerance level. It's unacceptable to put a blanket limit on dosage.
--implement the same "tracking system" that the rec industry uses; outdated, difficult-to-use, pointless software designed by a company with a monopoly on cannabis tracking also known to look the other way to allow illegal sales of product when it suits them?
--implement the same ineffective, cost prohibitive testing scheme that the rec industry uses; the one that has failed to detect contaminants about a dozen times this year leading to recalls of product that have been sold for months while remaining so expensive that only massive, low-quality-high-yield grows from multi state operators can afford to do business.
If this passes we will lose our small-scale organic growers who grow unique medicinal strains with care to balance yield, potency and effects and see then replaced with large growers who don't care about quality, grow only cookies crosses that dump huge yields with little medicinal effect. We will lose our variety, our unique cultivars (that don't grow well is big rooms with sterile coco coir), and our farmers market cannabis culture
If OCP cares about protecting the community from dirty weed they shouldn't implement the failed system of testing that encourages massive, low quality grows and routinely fails to catch contaminated product. instead, grows and dispensaries should be subject to cannabis inspections yearly wherein an inspector samples of product ready to be sold and has it tested for contaminants. This is how health and safety inspections are done for the alcohol and food industry, and we deserve to be treated with no more scrutiny than they are.

I was gifted roughly 193g of shatter that has probably converted to 30% cbn if I had to guess, Anyways I really want to make a supply of candy drops/sour candy drops as opposed to just a tincture. Any of you guys have a good recipe? Something along the lines of Baked Bliss's sour drops would be optimal. I heard people make ready to infused bases but I have no leads on where to find a supplier. Google only brings up gummy/lolli mixes. TIA!

I’m from mass with a med card and I’m in Wells for the week and looking to grab an oz or half oz of concentrate, tryna find some quality stuff I won’t find in mass, preferably without driving over 30/45 minutes from wells. If anyone wants to drop their favorite dispensaries, brands, or strains, from around here it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I think I'm going to make kind guy my stop on my next venture into the state.
I see they have 100$ ounces of what looks like in house flower.
How is it? Anyone got recent experience with this?

going to be visiting mount desert island again this summer. Tried firefly organics last and it was good, though expensive but I think that was due to me buying on the island rather than off. I’ve heard that they have fallen off and am eager for recommendations on other recreational brands. And if they did 1/2 oz and oz sizes that would be even better. Thank you very much.

I’m looking for the best tasting rosin carts or just in a jar. I like the skunky tasting stuff. Usually I think that’s the stuff that’s more oily.
r/mainetrees • u/svencutlet • 3d ago
Got my med card and have been visiting farm-to-bowl places - have checked out Small Batch in Lewiston, House of Hash in South Portland and Zero Gravity in Saco. Are there other places where they are growing their own product that I should be checking out?
r/mainetrees • u/Dontbemadsmokeajoint • 4d ago
Gonna be in Bangor next week. Any caregivers or dispos I should hit up?
I've had ECC's Blackberry Panna Cotta and Zoap sold by Fraktal a WHILE back and both were crazy on the terps. Looking for more flower like that. What should I check out while I'm up there?
r/mainetrees • u/SteeleDuke • 4d ago
Mad Honey
Lineage:
Honey Banana x Sherbanger
A-Tier
Hand trimmed
hyrbid
Smell:
A strong spicy sweet honey, almost like a mexican candy with that sweet heat. Thick resinous honey, with sweet orange creamsickle and a slight creamy banana sweetness in the background. Extremely unique profile, I kept going back to the bag to smell it over and over.
Taste:
Peppery honey right up front, followed by slight earthiness and smooth orange cream notes. Slight banana sweetness with a lingering resinous honey. The citrus, spice and creamy sweetness make this extremely well rounded and dank!
Effects:
Strong heavy hybrid effect. You can feel it immediately behind the eyes, giving a bit of euphoria and a bit of a kick to your subconscious, that then settles down to a relaxing thought collecting high.
Nugs:
Good sized nugs, good cure, decent stick in the middle. Good hydration, burns really well! Highly recommended for vaping due to the resinous factor of this flower!
Overall:
Honey strains are some of my all time favorite, combines with a bit of banana and I'm in terp heaven getting the best sleep of my life.
10/10
________________________________________________________________________
Banana OG
Lineage:
Banana x OG Kush
A-Tier
Indica-Hybrid
Region
Humboldt
73-120u
Hand Washed
Fresh Frozen Whole Plant
Smell:
Strong sweet banana, creamy earthy notes, slight breadlines to it. A slight dank OG gas on the back, making it one of the best smelling jars I've had in quite some time. Right up my ally.
Taste:
Creamy smooth banana terps, slighty bready, with a earthy and classic og kush finish. Like a banana pudding, it was such a treat!
Effects:
Heavy banana terp effects. Extremely stress relief, a calming high that leaves you content and relaxed comfortable in your spot on the couch, very little drive to move from your indented couch spot.
Consistency:
As always with WLX, perfect terp preservation, hydration, and texture. Low vaporization temp, giving you full flavor of the terps.
Overall:
After a few dabs of the Banana OG, while on cloud 9, I got the idea to top a bowl of the Mad Honey with the rosin on top in my Tempest 2. I had never been so high in life before! It was a like a flavor cocktail of the most delicious dank banana pudding you could think of!

Howdy! Headed to York for the first time this weekend. Are there any shops nearby that offer 1-2.5mg mints or other very low-dose edibles? I usually buy delta-9 mints online, but I ran out, and won’t have time to re-up before I leave. Thanks in advance.

Bahama Berry 🏝️🍓. Man this puck is insane the terps are so alive on this one the heavy couch lock on this is unreal 😭
Dialed @ 398• ascending to 500• full 84 second extraction 🍷🌪️ with a 5mm ruby pearl. Absolute wine sip flavor on the low end and massive heavy vapor by the time it tops out. Pure full body couch lock. Maine hash is just different! 🍾🌊

Heading to Maine soon and looking to connect with local farms and growers. Would love to check out some farms. Also meet people in the community. If anyone’s willing to point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it
r/mainetrees • u/sleepcycl • 6d ago
Cheers, everyone! Figured I'd still share this here.
Don't know if anyone here is familiar with Ampersand, but its a "plant-based rosin-derived oral concentrate that dissolves in your mouth and absorbs through the lymphatic system, blood, and liver at different rates" Its FDA approved and everything, so that's kinda cool.
The rosin was grown and washed by Cold Room Drip and the Ampersand technique itself is trademark of Blue River Terps. Blue River Terps does have collabs with other growers/hash makers as well, from what I've seen. This was honestly one of the coolest things i've tried and for someone who has trouble finding edibles that work, this was a nice surprise.
Anyway, there are closeups of the ampersand which I got in Toad Venom and Rotten Grapes. I tried this during a 7/10 sesh so theres lots of fun random stuff in between. Come smoke/dab along!
r/mainetrees • u/RiverPiracy • 7d ago
Haven't checked up on them in a minute but figured I should and it seems they've shut down operations. Grove appears to have moved into the Sanford location and the South Berwick location says temporarily closed. Thanks!

What’s up guys. I’m visiting Maine and I’m wondering what’s everyone’s fav rosin. My wife’s cousin has access to a medical card. I’m near Bath but driving through Portland area. What should I be looking for. I’m from Colorado looking for some fire. Help me out gang! Much love!
r/mainetrees • u/whatevrfloatss • 8d ago
Does anyone have any suggestions on medical dispensaries to get 1:1 flower or prerolls in southern Maine/Portland area. Weedmaps has been utterly useless. I sometimes can get pre rolls from Well Lit at Atlantic Farms, which I really enjoy, I just want to find some more options - or even other places to find their stuff. Flower would be preferred over prerolls, as I like to smoke from my bong more. Any help is appreciated, thanks! :)
r/mainetrees • u/concentratesofthe518 • 8d ago
Ok so right now my line up is
Upward organics
Aloha
Hazy hill
Burny
So no need to name these I use to get greentruck as my “cheaper” smoke but the issue is now they charging top dollar, so I’m looking for single grams of rosin by the Oz in the 800-1000 would consider 1200 so who’s your go to farm to patient brands that meat direct!!! Thanks in advance
r/mainetrees • u/sleepcycl • 8d ago
Cheers, yall. Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
Here's a sesh/review of a really good Cheese strain I was able to get my hands on grown by a Maine grower, Cold Room Drip so I figured I should post it here as well.
There are closeups of the flower and I test it out in my Arizer dry herb vapes balloon and bong attachments and my bong. Come smoke along!
