Maine Weed Delivery
A first look at weed delivery in Maine now that recreational marijuana has passed, and what to expect as services roll out.
It's time we introduced you to Maine Weed Delivery.
Our editorsMarijuana Delivery Arrives in Maine
Recreational weed use just passed with a narrow margin in Maine, meaning marijuana smokers can now buy it without needing a medical card. As pot smokers figure out how to get their marijuana, weed delivery services — using technology similar to Uber — are stepping in.
Customers browse dispensaries online and order, with delivery typically arriving in under an hour depending on location; the services tend to focus on metropolitan areas first, and Portland is expected to see the most activity as recreational weed rolls out.
Cost is a pleasant surprise right now: because the industry is so new, most weed delivery is currently free as companies compete to build their customer base, often making it cheaper than driving to a dispensary yourself.
Safety-wise, delivery services are held to similar or higher regulations than dispensaries, with professional drivers who can walk customers through their purchase. Expect the number of delivery options in Maine, especially in Portland, to grow quickly now that recreational sales are legal.
