Higher Grounds of Maine

Higher Grounds of Maine We're open 7 days a week, come visit us on the cobblestones! At Higher Grounds, we curate a selection of Maine's plant-based wisdom and power.

A hidden gem in Portland's Old Port presenting the very best of Maine's craft cannabis, coffee, full-spectrum h**p CBD, and traditional local Maine apothecary products. Our profound respect for cannabis and other therapeutic plants, love for coffee, and passion for supporting Maine's locally-owned, independent artisan crafters shapes both our menu and our advocacy. We operate the shop as well as a

medical delivery service Tuesday through Sunday. Our location on Wharf Street in Portland's unique and historic Old Port is a little plant oasis. In the shop you can experience Maine's finest medical cannabis and coffee, with a supporting cast of delicious and healthful teas, Maine-grown full-spectrum h**p CBD products, and traditional apothecary cures. For delivery, visit our website or Weedmaps to place your order! We are founding members of the Maine Craft Cannabis Association and advocate tirelessly for cannabis users and small businesses. Welcome to the Higher Grounds of Maine!

The Maine medical cannabis program is once again under assault as (some) legislators & corporate lobbyists plot to destroy the magic this state has built. We’re rallying & heading into the statehouse on April 2nd to remind them who this program works for and why it deserves protection 🤟🏻🌸✊ Patients, caregivers, allies, all are welcome. More details to come!

We stand with all of our communities who are being unjustly targeted, and particularly the most vulnerable new Mainers being demonized to distract from this regime’s own criminal behavior–they are our fellow neighbors, students, teachers, builders, caretakers, health workers, artists, musicians, colleagues, friends.

All Mainers benefit greatly from their presence, and everyone in this country is afforded due process, regardless of immigration status. This regime’s illegal assault on our people, both here and around the country, will not stand, but we must weather it while it’s here. ICE is not welcome in our business. We are ALL one people. We are ALL one community. An assault on anyone is an assault on all of us.

We are again sharing here helpful local resources with information about what to do should you encounter ICE or witness their activities, whether as a victim or an observer.
