Overview
Wells is a medical-only cannabis market in York County. Both dispensaries in town operate under Maine's medical-use program (MMMP), not the adult-use opt-in system. Wells voters rejected adult-use retail sales on June 10, 2025 (Article 17), per the York County Star / Seacoast Online reporting (source), after months of contested planning board review and a Select Board referral to voters in March 2025.
Despite the medical-only retail picture, Wells functions as a de facto cannabis shopping destination for parts of southern York County — primarily because Ogunquit, the next town north, has never opted in to cannabis retail either. Ogunquit's thousands of summer visitors (Marginal Way, Perkins Cove, beaches) and York residents without local access travel ~5–10 minutes to Wells.
Note: Wells' medical dispensary licensing predates the 2020 adult-use retail opt-in framework. The Wells medical dispensaries are authorized under the longstanding MMMP program, which is separate from municipal opt-in for adult-use retail.
Geographic advantage summary:
- Wells' own resident population (~11,000)
- Ogunquit overflow (~5 minutes north, 10,000+ summer visitors, no in-town dispensary)
- North Berwick, Berwick, and York overflow
- Route 1 through-traffic from Kittery to Portland
Dispensaries in Wells
Hazy Hill Farm (Medical, Farm-to-Shelf)
Address: 1614 Post Road, Wells, ME 04090 (medical-only MMMP)
Hazy Hill Farm operates a medical cannabis dispensary with a distinctive farm-to-shelf model. They cultivate their own cannabis products and sell directly to qualifying patients from their Post Road location. This vertical integration distinguishes them from dispensaries that merely retail third-party products.
The farm-to-shelf approach typically results in fresher products, better quality control, and often more competitive pricing since the middleman is eliminated. Patients appreciate knowing exactly where their medicine comes from.
Curaleaf Wells (Medical — MMMP)
Address: 913 Post Road, Wells, ME 04090
Phone: (207) 360-3310
Website: curaleaf.com
Curaleaf is a multi-state cannabis operator (MSO) on Post Road (Route 1) next to Wells Plaza. Curaleaf serves MMMP medical patients only — it is not an adult-use recreational dispensary. Wells voters rejected retail adult-use sales in June 2025, so no recreational storefront operates in town.
Curaleaf's Route 1 location provides high visibility for travelers on the main thoroughfare through Wells, but patients should confirm they have a valid MMMP card before visiting.
The Ogunquit Advantage
Wells' most significant geographic advantage is its proximity to Ogunquit, one of Maine's most visited tourist destinations. Ogunquit has not opted in to cannabis retail (medical or adult-use), meaning its thousands of summer visitors have no legal cannabis option within the town itself.
Visitors to Ogunquit's famous Marginal Way, Perkins Cove, and beaches travel to Wells (approximately 5 minutes) to purchase legal medical cannabis. This creates a substantial tourist customer base that doesn't appear in Wells' population figures but represents significant revenue for Wells medical dispensaries.
Town Status & Opt-In
Wells has not opted in to adult-use cannabis retail. The path to opt-in for adult-use retail started with a January 2025 dispensary-owner petition, faced pushback from the planning board (Feb 2025), was sent to voters by the Select Board (March 2025), and finally rejected at the polls on June 10, 2025 (Article 17). Per the York County Star / Seacoast Online, Wells voters chose to keep retail adult-use cannabis out of town.
Wells' existing medical dispensaries operate under the MMMP framework, which is separate from the adult-use opt-in system. Future opt-in attempts could happen via a new voter referendum at a subsequent town meeting.
For current opt-in status and any municipal changes, refer to our Maine Cannabis Opt-In Tracker and the OCP municipal opt-in list.
