What to bring
Your state-issued medical cannabis card or certification (bring a printed copy as backup if yours is digital)
A government-issued photo ID from your home state
Your card and ID need to be current — expired documentation can't be accepted

Out-of-state patients have an allowance of up to 2.5 ounces of medical cannabis and cannabis products every 15 days. That covers any combination of flower, concentrates, edibles, and more — which is exactly the range our bulk deals are structured around.

FRAKTAL is curbside pickup only, in the lot at 72 Emery St, Sanford, ME 04073. Pull up — we'll verify your out-of-state card and ID curbside and bring your order out to you.
A few things to know
Cannabis purchased in Maine has to stay in Maine. Transporting it across state lines is a federal offense, even between two states where cannabis is legal — please don't risk it. This page is general guidance, not legal advice. Reciprocity rules can change; the current, authoritative list is always at Maine OCP's visiting patients page. Reciprocity covers registered patients only — out-of-state caregivers aren't covered. Out-of-state patients can't cultivate cannabis in Maine.
