Phone: (207) 454-0000
Hours: Mon-Sat 10am-6pm
Type: Medical (MMMP)

The Higher Class operates as a medical dispensary on Main Street in downtown Calais. It is the established medical option for Washington County's border-region patients, including those in Calais, Baileyville, Princeton, and the surrounding rural communities. Their medical focus is intentional: in a four-store market, specialization is a differentiator.

Phone: (207) 454-2222
Hours: Mon-Sat 10am-7pm, Sun 11am-5pm

Kannacopia is a Calais dispensary that serves both medical and adult-use customers. Its Main Street location is convenient for visitors crossing the international bridge from St. Stephen, New Brunswick. The store carries a curated menu of flower, vapes, and edibles, and the operator has built a brand identity around the relaxed, friendly tone of the border region.

Smoke On The Water / Mt. Tom Therapeutics

Phone: (207) 454-1111
Hours: Mon-Sat 10am-7pm, Sun 11am-5pm
Type: Recreational and Medical

Smoke On The Water operates under a dual brand with Mt. Tom Therapeutics, combining an adult-use storefront with a medical program. The North Street location is the northern anchor of Calais's dispensary cluster and a natural last stop for travelers heading east toward the Campobello, Lubec, and Eastport border crossings.

Pine Island Cannabis

Address: 176 Main St, Calais, ME 04619
Phone: (207) 454-3300
Hours: Mon-Sat 10am-7pm
Type: Recreational and Medical

Pine Island Cannabis rounds out Calais's four-store market with an adult-use and medical dispensary on Main Street. The "Pine Island" name is a nod to the small islands in the St. Croix River that forms the international border. The store carries a mix of in-house and partner-branded products, and its positioning emphasizes Calais's distinctive character as a border town with year-round and seasonal Canadian visitor traffic.

Calais's Market Context

Calais sits on the east bank of the St. Croix River, directly across from St. Stephen, New Brunswick — one of the easternmost U.S.-Canada land-border crossings on the East Coast. The town's downtown is built around that bridge crossing, and for over a century, the cross-border economy has been a defining feature of Calais retail. Cannabis is a natural extension of that pattern.

Calais's four-store market is unusually dense for a town of 3,000, and reflects three factors: (1) the cross-border visitor flow, (2) the broad rural catchment across eastern Washington County, and (3) the early opt-in by the city of Calais, which created room for the operator cluster to develop. The Higher Class anchors the medical segment, while Kannacopia, Smoke On The Water, and Pine Island Cannabis split the adult-use market.

Operators evaluating Washington County should treat Calais as the eastern anchor, Machias as the mid-route stop, and Ellsworth as the western gateway. All three markets are functional and distinct; the Maine NB-border region has its own cannabis geography that mirrors its 19th-century commercial geography.
