Maine Supreme Judicial Court Rules That Municipalities May Not Impose Stricter Buffer Zones Than State Law Requires (September 2025)

The Maine Supreme Judicial Court held that a Portland ordinance imposing a 750-foot buffer between cannabis retail stores and schools — versus the 500-foot state minimum under 28-B MRS § 504 — is preempted by state law and cannot be enforced against licensed cannabis retailers operating in compliance with state buffers.
