21+ only
This site lists licensed cannabis retailers. You need to be 21 or over, or 18 and over with a valid medical cannabis card where your state allows it.
15 licensed shops open in Bangor right now, ranked on a star rating weighted by how many people actually left one. Pho King Great Cannabis: Recreatio leads at 5.0.
A 4.9 from 300 people is a weaker claim than a 4.8 from 7,000, so every rating here is pulled toward the Maine average in proportion to how few reviews sit behind it. Both figures are printed on each entry.
1114 Hammond St #2
Shoppers get to see and smell the flower before they buy, and the menu is laid out clearly enough that visitors from out of state find their way fast. Gummies, drinks, vapes and flower share the room with house t-shirts, caps and the stickers regulars love. Staff are patient with complete beginners.
Open

Value is the recurring theme, with regulars describing top-shelf flower at everyday prices. The pre-rolls earn praise, and newcomers mention the owner working the floor alongside knowledgeable budtenders. Delivery is available, there is on-site parking, and debit cards work.

Budtenders here go deep on strains, explaining flavor profiles and lineage and fielding endless questions without hurry.

A star average hides how many people stood behind it. Every rating is shrunk toward the Maine mean in proportion to its review count, so a shop needs a high score and real volume to reach the top. The weighted figure sits next to the raw one on every entry.
Every one Google lists as open and licensed under a cannabis category at the time of the last check. Shops that had closed permanently or temporarily are dropped, as is anything that turned up in the search but sits outside Maine.
Because we have not read one. Plenty of shops sell only through a third-party ordering platform that publishes nothing on their own domain, and a brand list is not worth guessing at.
Quarterly. Ratings move and shops close, and a list nobody re-checks becomes a directory of places that used to be good.
