Damariscotta, Maine Dispensary Guide

Overview: Why Damariscotta Has 3 Dispensaries

Damariscotta is a small Midcoast village of approximately 2,300 residents that supports three active dispensaries — more per capita than many Maine towns triple its size. The combination of factors explains the depth of the local market:

• Regional commercial hub status. Damariscotta is the largest commercial center in Lincoln County's Midcoast. The town sits on US Route 1 between Brunswick/Topsham (45 min southwest) and Rockland (35 min northeast), making it the natural retail stop for the entire Lincoln County coastal corridor.
• Tourist destination. Pemaquid Point Lighthouse (one of Maine's most photographed lighthouses), Colonial Pemaquid State Historic Site, and the Damariscotta River oyster middens (some of the oldest evidence of human settlement in the Northeast, dating back 2,500+ years) draw significant summer tourist traffic.
• Affluent second-home and retirement market. The Midcoast around Damariscotta is one of Maine's more affluent corridors, with significant seasonal-resident population during summer months. Damariscotta's median household income is meaningfully above the state median.
• Service area reach. The town's dispensaries effectively serve the entire Lincoln County coastal corridor, not just the 2,300 residents — a market that includes Newcastle (directly across the river), Bremen, Nobleboro, Bristol, Waldoboro, Jefferson, and Whitefield.

Cannabis Cured — Recreational

Address: 53A Chapman Street, Damariscotta, ME 04543
Phone: (207) 682-0130
Hours: Mon-Wed 10am-6pm · Thu-Sat 10am-8pm · Sun 10am-4pm
Type: Recreational (21+ with valid ID)
License: Adult-Use / Recreational

Cannabis Cured's Damariscotta location is positioned just off Main Street on Chapman Street, tucked behind familiar local businesses near downtown. The location serves customers from Newcastle, Bremen, Nobleboro, Bristol, and Waldoboro.

The Damariscotta location is part of the Cannabis Cured Maine network, which also operates storefronts in Portland and Brunswick. The brand positions itself as carrying trusted Maine brands and supports online ordering for pickup. The Chapman Street location's tucked-away setting creates a low-profile customer experience that some Midcoast visitors prefer over Main Street retail.

Why Damariscotta for this location: Cannabis Cured's expansion into the Midcoast recognized what the per-capita data already showed: Damariscotta is a regional retail destination, not just a 2,300-resident town. The Route 1 traffic flow and the surrounding affluent residential corridor make it viable for a second-or-third-store operator in the Cannabis Cured chain.

Above and Beyond Cannabis — Medical

Address: 464 Main Street, Damariscotta, ME 04555
Phone: (207) 563-2100
Hours: Daily 9am-7pm
Type: Medical (Maine MMMP card required)
Rating: 5.0/5 (111+ reviews per public listings)

Above and Beyond Cannabis is a family-owned operation run by a father-daughter duo. They specialize in craft cannabis and are known for competitive pricing with Maine sales tax included in listed prices. They offer 15% off for first-time patients, 10% for veterans and birthdays. They also operate a smoke shop and vape shop on-site, creating a broader customer draw.

The 464 Main Street location is the highest-rated medical dispensary in Lincoln County. Above and Beyond's pricing model — including Maine sales tax in listed prices rather than adding it at checkout — is a transparency choice that medical patients in the area consistently cite in reviews.

On-site smoke shop and vape shop: Beyond medical cannabis, Above and Beyond's retail footprint includes glass, vaporizers, and accessories. This makes the Main Street location a broader hemp-and-cannabis retail destination, drawing foot traffic from customers who may not have a Maine MMMP card but are interested in CBD or accessories.

Greenport Cannabis — Recreational

Address: 280 Main Street, Damariscotta, ME 04543
Phone: (207) 563-6928
Hours: Mon-Fri 9am-7pm · Sat-Sun 10am-7pm
Type: Recreational (21+ with valid ID)

Greenport Cannabis occupies the 280 Main Street storefront on Damariscotta's commercial corridor. The name references the town's heritage as a 19th-century shipbuilding and shipping port on the Damariscotta River.

Greenport is the third of Damariscotta's three dispensaries, completing a 2-rec / 1-med market structure that gives adult-use customers choice between two rec operators and medical patients a dedicated medical storefront. For adult-use customers, Greenport and Cannabis Cured are the two rec options, with similar product menus but different locations (Main Street vs. Chapman Street).
