Delta 8 THC is a unique cannabinoid found in the hemp plant that has been rapidly expanding in popularity nationwide with promising applications, both in the medical and recreational fields. While Delta 8 THC features familiar properties to Delta 9 THC, the main chemical found in marijuana, it has completely different effects and generally less potency.
But is Delta 8 THC legal in Maine?

As of today 09/22/2021, Delta 8 THC is legal according to Maine state law. Like the federal law, Maine has legalized all derivatives, cannabinoids, and isomers of hemp including all tetrahydrocannabinols other than Delta 9 THC.
The bill follows:

Back in November 2016, Maine was one of four states to pass a legalization initiative, alongside California, Massachusetts and Nevada, but unfortunately was the last of those states to actually launch adult-use sales.
Cannabis is what we do! We even have High Times Hemp Cup Awards to prove it!
There is good news though, that after years of frustration and numerous delays, adult-use cannabis sales have finally begun as of October 9th 2020.
Like Maine's close east coast neighbors, their regulations are in line with Delta 8 THC in West Virginia and Delta 8 THC in Connecticut. It really seems like the politicians governing the state of Maine are open to anything hemp!
You sure can! If you don’t follow hemp law, then you may not know that after hemp became federally legal, a majority of states went ahead and legalized it too. Today, you can find hemp products almost anywhere you travel, even Maine.
As of now Maine has legalized all derivatives, cannabinoids, and products of hemp, which include Delta-8 THC, CBD, and Delta-9 THC. Like federal law, ME defines hemp as cannabis with a 0.3% or lower concentration of Delta-9 on a dry weight basis.
