Can You Light Up a Fatty While Driving a Vehicle in Maine?

Can you light up a fatty while driving a vehicle in Maine?

Funny enough, people ask this specific question frequently. So, I thought I would address it and help y'all out.

Let's break it down.

Marijuana use is regulated here in the state of Maine but not federally.  Adults who are 21 or older can have up to 2.5 ounces of cannabis, according to Maine.gov

Is it Illegal to smoke marijuana while you're driving in Maine?

According to Good To Know Maine, it is certainly illegal to drive while high on weed in Maine. It is also illegal to open and smoke or use marijuana while you're driving down the road in a car. This is the same for the passenger.

Could you get in trouble?

Oh yes. If you are driving under the influence of marijuana you could be arrested and charged with an OUI (Operating Under the Influence).

Don't transport either. You also can't drive out-of-state with weed either. Don't cross state lines or international borders, because it's a big no-no to leave Maine with any marijuana products, even if they are medical, according to the report. 

Here's one more Snapple fact for you: you cannot send marijuana in the mail. No snail mail marijuana, Mainers!

Be mindful when you drive and follow the rules of the road. It ensures everyone's safety.

Make sure to review the Maine Law in order to educate yourself on the regulations of Marijuana in our state.

And most of all, be safe!
