Disclaimers & Safety

1. Who this site is for

New Mill serves qualifying patients 18 and older, from Maine or visiting from another state, with a valid medical cannabis certification, and registered caregivers 21 and older.

New Mill is a medical cannabis dispensary registered with the Maine Office of Cannabis Policy (registration DSP208). We serve medical cannabis patients and their caregivers only.

• Maine patients: bring your medical provider's written certification and a government-issued photo ID.
• Visiting patients: bring a valid medical cannabis certification or card from your home state, and a photo ID or driver's license from the same state. Your home state's medical cannabis program must be one Maine recognizes, and Maine law limits a visiting patient to 2½ ounces of harvested cannabis in any 15-day period (22 M.R.S. §2423-D and §2428(7)).
• Registered caregivers: bring your caregiver registry identification card and a photo ID.

We check credentials and photo ID before a sale, and we may decline a sale when credentials can't be verified.

2. What we don't claim about our products

New Mill makes no health claims about its products. Our products have not been evaluated or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and nothing on this site says or suggests that a product will help with any medical condition.

If a patient testimonial ever appears on this site, it will carry the statement Maine law requires (22 M.R.S. §2429-B(2)(A)): "This statement has not been evaluated by the United States Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease."

3. Not medical advice

Nothing on this site is medical advice. Talk with a licensed medical provider about whether cannabis is right for you, especially if you:

• take any prescription or over-the-counter drugs;
• are pregnant or breastfeeding, or planning a pregnancy;
• are younger than 25; or
• have a personal or family history of psychosis or other serious mental illness.

Our staff are not medical providers. They can't certify patients or recommend cannabis for any condition.

4. Safety and impairment

Cannabis can impair your judgment, coordination and reaction time.

• Don't drive. Maine's medical cannabis law does not permit anyone to drive, or to operate a boat, aircraft, snowmobile or ATV, while under the influence of cannabis (22 M.R.S. §2426(1)(D)). Don't run machinery or do anything else that needs your full attention.
• Start low and go slow. Edibles and other products you swallow can take up to two hours to take effect, and the effects can last many hours. Wait before taking more.
• Don't smoke in public. Maine's medical cannabis law does not permit smoking cannabis in any public place or on public transportation (22 M.R.S. §2426(1)(C)).
• Store it safely. Keep all cannabis products in their child-resistant packaging, locked up and out of reach of children and pets. Edibles can look like ordinary food or snacks.
• Carry your certification. To be protected under Maine's medical cannabis law, you must show your written certification (or, for a caregiver, your registry card) if a law enforcement officer asks for it (22 M.R.S. §2430-C(7)).

If you take too much, stop, stay somewhere safe, and don't drive. Too much cannabis can cause a racing heart, panic, confusion or severe vomiting.

For advice at any hour, call the Northern New England Poison Center at 1-800-222-1222. The call is free and confidential. If a child or pet swallows a cannabis product, call right away. If someone has trouble breathing, collapses or can't be woken up, call 911.

5. Federal law and travel

Cannabis is still illegal under federal law, whatever state law allows. Maine's medical cannabis law protects you only under Maine law. Don't take cannabis across state lines, or onto federal land such as national parks and national forests.

6. Employment and drug testing

Maine law says a school, employer or landlord may not refuse to enroll, employ or lease to, or otherwise penalize, a person solely for being a qualifying patient or caregiver, unless doing so would put it in violation of federal law or cause it to lose a federal contract or funding (22 M.R.S. §2430-C(3)). Employers do not have to allow cannabis use in the workplace, or anyone to work while under the influence of cannabis (22 M.R.S. §2426(2)(B)).

Because cannabis remains illegal under federal law, check your employer's policy before you use it. This is general information, not legal advice.

7. Products vary

Cannabis products vary. Potency and cannabinoid content can differ from batch to batch, and people respond differently to the same product. The label on the product you buy is what applies to it. Menu listings and photos on this site are a guide; see our Terms of Use.
