Gas station with medical marijuana c-store opened in Portland

Gas N’ Grass will start selling cannabis products on the first day that Maine’s new medical marijuana law takes effect.

Adults with a medical card and government-issued identification will be able to buy marijuana products such as cannabis-infused gummies, tinctures and smokable marijuana to those fueling up at Atlantic Farms new site.

Gas N’ Grass receives about 250 customers a day at its pay-at-the-pump gas and will also offer traditional convenience store products like soda and snacks.

The opening follows the reforms passed by lawmakers over a gubernatorial veto earlier this year, which changed a host of standards for growing and selling medical marijuana, including the opening of medical marijuana stores.

Gas and medical marijuana in the U.S

Although more gas stations are starting to sell cannabis-related products across the United States, there are only a handful of such convenience stores in the country. The hemp products sold at these stores contains by law less than 1% of the cannabis compound.

“Given how fast states are legalizing marijuana, more [gas stations selling cannabis products] are definitely coming”, said the spokesman for the National Association of Convenience Stores, Jeff Lenard, to the Press Herald.
