Any Maine resident who has been recommended cannabis by a state-licensed medical practitioner will qualify for medical cannabis in the state. Patients under 18 will need to have a parent or legal guardian appointed as a caregiver to manage and administer their medication.

Maine does have a list of qualifying conditions, but the state also allows medical professionals to use their own discretion in recommending medical cannabis. So, even if you don’t have one of the state’s qualifying conditions, a medical professional can recommend medical cannabis if they feel it’s an appropriate treatment.

Maine’s qualifying conditions are: 

• Alzheimer’s disease
• Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
• Cachexia or wasting syndrome
• Cancer
• Chronic pain
• Chron’s disease
• Epilepsy
• Glaucoma
• Hepatitis C
• HIV/AIDS
• Huntington’s disease
• Inflammatory bowel disease (IBS)
• Multiple sclerosis (MS)
• Nausea
• Nail-patella syndrome
• Parkinson’s disease
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

Yes! Maine allows licensed medical practitioners to recommend medical cannabis to any patient they feel will benefit from it. If your doctor thinks medical cannabis will be an effective treatment for you, you’ll be eligible for Maine’s medical program.

Maine has a number of key benefits for medical cannabis patients. Patients are able to access more dispensaries than recreational consumers, including the state’s robust network of registered cannabis caregivers. Medical cannabis patients are also exempt from the state’s 10% excise tax on cannabis sales.

Additionally, medical cannabis patients are allowed to cultivate double the number of mature plants (6) as recreational cannabis users (3).

Last but not least, Maine affords key protections to medical cannabis patients that aren’t available to adult-use consumers, including protections against discrimination in the workplace, at school, and in renting their apartments. They are also protected against discrimination when being considered for organ transplants.

NuggMD only charges $99 for a Maine medical cannabis evaluation. And that evaluation is entirely risk-free because NuggMD patients are only charged if their evaluating physician recommends them for medical cannabis. Maine does not charge a fee for your medical card, so there are no additional costs.

In the U.S. cannabis remains illegal at the federal level, even for medical purposes. As a result, nearly all health insurance companies will not cover the cost of medical cannabis.

Once your doctor recommends medical cannabis, they’ll send a copy of your certification to the state and another copy to you. Once you have your certification, you can use it to purchase medical cannabis.

With NuggMD, you are ONLY charged for your evaluation if you are approved. We believe everyone deserves access to a qualified medical cannabis doctor, and the cost of an evaluation shouldn’t be a barrier.

You won’t be charged for your evaluation if you’re not approved for medical marijuana treatment. Because paper certifications are all that is required to purchase medical marijuana in Maine, once your certification has shipped, a refund is no longer available. Your certification will be good for one year and should arrive at your home within 5 to 10 business days. If you don’t receive your package within 12 days, please send an email to support@nuggmd.com with the subject line “Reshipment Request,” and a brief description of your issue. The first reshipment is free if the request is made within 30 days of your evaluation. Thereafter, each reshipment request will cost $20. We want to make sure you are 100% satisfied with your purchase being that you, the customers, are the most important thing to us. If any issues arise, please feel free to reach back out for further assistance.

Yes! In Maine, any state-licensed MD, DO, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner can recommend medical cannabis. All of NuggMD’s medical practitioners are licensed in the state where they practice and meet all state requirements to recommend medical cannabis.

This depends on the state to which you’re traveling. Each state has different rules regarding reciprocity, and some don’t allow it at all. Check with your destination state to learn more.

Maine does require a state-issued photo ID for medical cannabis certification. However, Maine has a fairly liberal reciprocity policy and accepts out-of-state patients from most other states with medical cannabis programs. So it’s possible to apply as a visiting patient without a Maine state ID.
