How it works

How cannabis is sold in Bangor

Bangor's road to retail cannabis has four dates, and the second one is the argument that still shapes it.

2016-11-01
The city enacts a six-month ban on retail sales, a week before voters approve legalisation statewide.
2017-03-21
Council hears the police chief and health director warn about impaired driving and teen harm from social clubs, while a smoke-shop owner calls the fears unfounded.
2020-09-10
The state approves Firestorm Cultivation on Hammond Street, converted from medical to adult-use, as Bangor's first retail shop.
2020-10-09
Adult-use sales open across Maine to customers 21 and over.

What does the city allow, and where?

Medical and adult-use stores are permitted in some commercial districts, with setbacks from schools and churches, according to Bangor's code enforcement office. It also bans drive-through windows, outdoor displays and odours reaching other properties, and requires cameras. The rest of the register spreads out: Brothers on Stillwater Avenue, Brothers Cannabis on Broadway, Cannabis Cured at the Bangor Mall and Curaleaf on Hogan Road. Maine-wide law is summarised under Maine. The city's own FAQ names Chapters 165 and 177 of the Bangor code as the ones that apply.
