Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Selected for all Eight Districts

The Division of Licensing and Regulatory Services (DLRS) in the Department of Health and Human Services announced the selection the last two dispensaries needed to complete the statewide dispensary system.

The dispensary system has been established to assist registered patients whose physicians believe they will benefit from the medical use of marijuana for certain serious medical conditions.

The dispensaries were chosen based on criteria outlined in the application instructions, including their plan to operate as a non-profit corporation long-term, convenience of location, prior business experience, patient education, record-keeping, inventory, and quality control.

Those who obtained the highest scores in their Districts and met the required minimum score of 70 were :

• District 1 (York County): Safe harbor Maine, Inc.
  
• District 2 (Cumberland County): Northeast Patients Group (PDF*(19.01MB))
• District 3 (Franklin, Oxford, Androscoggin): Remedy Compassion Center (PDF*(8.21MB))
• District 4 (Waldo, Lincoln, Sagadahoc, Knox): Northeast Patients Group (PDF*(18.65MB))
• District 5 (Somerset, Kennebec): Northeast Patients Group (PDF*(18.72MB))
• District 6 (Piscataquis, Penobscot): Northeast Patients Group (PDF*(18.61MB))
• District 7 (Hancock, Washington): Primary Organic Therapy, Inc.
  
• District 8 (Aroostook): Safe Alternatives of Fort Kent (PDF*(10.49MB))

Cathy Cobb, Director of DLRS, said that she will be meeting with the dispensaries chief executives to review their progress and to discuss next steps. She anticipates it will take between two and three months for a dispensary to be open to patients.
