Overview
Lifted Cannabis Maine is a medical cannabis dispensary operating in Houlton, the seat of Aroostook County in far northern Maine. The operator's site explicitly states "Medical Card Required, No Adult Use/Recreational — Grown for smokers, By smokers." The focus is on serving the medical cannabis patient base in Aroostook County, a region that has historically had limited access to licensed dispensaries compared to southern and central Maine.
Owner Zachary Waite has been an active voice in Houlton's cannabis ordinance debate. In August 2024, he addressed the Houlton Town Council advocating for changes to the town's medical marijuana ordinance to allow caregiver retail stores. His testimony highlighted that the state-level framework had changed but the town's local ordinance had not kept pace — a common pattern in small Maine municipalities with limited cannabis retail experience.
