Medical Program Signage and Staff References

Compliance materials for Maine Medical Use of Cannabis Program (MMCP) dispensaries, caregivers, and cultivation facilities. All items print on letter-size paper with consistent formatting.

Maine statute mandates ONLY ONE facility posting requirement for medical dispensaries:

  • Registration Certificate Display (Title 22 §2428(6)(K)): A dispensary shall display the dispensary's registration certificate issued under §2425-A in a publicly visible location in the dispensary. This is the ONLY legally required posting.

All other signage below is RECOMMENDED as best practice for operational compliance and patient transparency but is NOT explicitly mandated by Maine statute. Citations refer to the underlying legal requirements that these signs help communicate (e.g., patient verification practices under §2423-A, not signage requirements).
