An Act To Increase Access To Medical Cannabis For Seniors And Veterans

LD 929 removes the requirement for seniors (65+ years old) and veterans to obtain a doctor's written certification to qualify for Maine's medical cannabis program. Instead, they can use government-issued identification (like a senior ID card or VA veteran ID) to prove eligibility. This change directly affects Maine residents in these categories who previously needed a medical provider's note to access cannabis for treatment. The bill amends Maine's medical cannabis law to streamline access without altering other program rules or benefits.
