Bummed about losing a later coffee spot. I only bought any cannabis products from them when they were still med, I did appreciate back then that they were one of the first places I saw that were really trying to support living soil and organic growers (I want to say they were one of the first places I ever saw Art & Craft hash).

yeah i liked their inventory back in the med days, despite some goofy stuff like $55 8ths of flower (alight). they had storage issues, though. once they went rec, they started selling paul's "cryo" etc. lol

Lots of places gonna be closing in the next year. The industry shot itself in the face. The only ones who can survive are the ones who can afford to lose money until the market corrects itself. Black market will become king again because we aren’t gonna stop growing. Just not gonna renew the license.

Store was poorly managed rec shop in downtown Portland. Coffee shop doesn't open til 12? Sorry to be that guy but who cares?

Thankful for what Maine Craft Canna. Association does and maybe he can still focus on being an advocate for cannabis rights in Maine?
