Bangor is a picture-perfect city set along the beautiful Penobscot River about 45 minutes north of the coast. Known as the Queen City of Maine and a long-standing lumber capital of the world, Bangor is enveloped in trees, making it one of the most idyllic places to visit in the fall. The city has an irresistible charm and lots of local character – there is no shortage of good food or breathtaking views to take in. Bangor is also home to the prolific author Stephen King and is one of the best cities for easy access to every region of Maine.
On October 9, 2020, Bangor opened the doors to its first adult-use marijuana dispensary. Even though Maine legalized recreational marijuana back in 2016, the state has been slow to create a system and approve retail applications for the distribution of recreational cannabis. There is currently only one recreational dispensary in Bangor, but more recreational licenses will be allocated and more stores will likely be opening soon. Please note that dispensaries in Bangor usually open around 10 AM and operate until 7 PM. Additionally, check to see if your go-to dispensary offers delivery services – there are several throughout Bangor.
