in maine first you need a doc's recomindation.d.h.h.s has a list of all qualified doctors,i use dr. sulak@ intergrative health care hallowell,me.then you need a permit from d.h.h.s for 75 bucks,you will have to choose to grow your own,or have a caregiver grow for you, or go to a dispensery. yes there is some jetlag getting o.nboard with the program but we're still working with a new law with a lot of flaws. it will get better but for now at least we got the law on the books.
