Augusta has 13 dispensaries licensed or registered by the Maine Office of Cannabis Policy (OCP). Five of them are adult-use stores where anyone 21 or older with a valid photo ID can buy, visitors included. The rest sell to certified medical patients, and 9 Augusta listings in all carry a Medical badge. Medical stores outnumber adult-use ones in the capital, which fits its history: Augusta allowed medical sales from 2019 but kept adult-use stores out for years after Maine voters legalized them, local papers reported.
That history still shapes a shopping trip. Without a medical certification, only five of the doors on this page are open to you. With one, Augusta gives you more choice than most Maine towns its size, including a shop that opens at 6 a.m.

Visiting a Dispensary in Augusta: ID, Payment and Hours
Bring a valid government photo ID. Adult-use stores check that you are 21, and Maine has no residency rule, so a legislator in town for the session or a traveler on I-95 buys on the same terms as a local. Patients need their certification as well. Visa and Mastercard do not allow card purchases of cannabis, so plan on cash or debit.
Augusta and Maine Cannabis Laws: Purchase Limits, Public Use and Driving
An adult may buy, possess or carry up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis, with no more than 10 grams of it as concentrate. Use is legal in a private residence and its yard, or on private property not open to the public when the owner allows it. That rules out the State House grounds, city parks and trails, which are public places; public use is a civil violation with a fine of up to $100. No one in a vehicle on a public road may consume cannabis, passengers included, and driving impaired is OUI. Maine has no licensed consumption lounges. Our Maine marijuana laws guide covers the rest.
