In 1999, Maine became the fifth state to legalize medical marijuana. In 2009, the state passed a ballot initiative allowing the creation of medical cannabis dispensaries. Adults over age 21 are legal to possess up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana. The use of marijuana in public places is subject to a civil fine of up to $100. Much like driving under the influence of alcohol, driving under the influence of marijuana is prohibited.
Your Medical Cannabis Dispensary
The endocannabinoid system, also known as the ECS, is a communication network inside the body. Made of receptors such as CB1 and CB2, the ECS is believed to be responsible for homeostasis and works to achieve balance. The receptors send chemical signals that work to fight off injury, disease, and stress.
Cannabinoids bind with CB1 and CB2 receptors found in the brain, digestive system, central nervous system, and immune system, triggering a response and influencing the ECS. While the full capacity of the ECS is still being discovered, we know it plays a role in sleep, mood, metabolism, appetite, bone growth, liver function and so much more. Everything from inflammation to learning is affected.
THC or tetrahydrocannabinol is the most abundant cannabinoid created by the cannabis plant. It binds to both CB1 and CB2 receptors, affecting both mind and body and offering a wide range of medicinal benefits.
