One of the most populated cities in Maine, Lewiston still pulls off that relaxed, charming, small-town vibe that Maine is so well known for. Situated just across the Androscoggin River from Auburn, the other half of the Twin Cities, Lewiston is a picturesque town nestled within the beautiful Maine Lakes and Mountains region. Surrounded by the natural splendor of the American northeast, this city is ideal for anyone who enjoys the little things in life and appreciates slowing down. Downtown is full of history, as is featured in the many regional museums and old euro-centric architecture, but it’s also a lively place to visit for a fun night on the town. And if you’re the adventuring type, Lewiston is near many ski areas and is less than an hour from Portland and the ocean.
Not only is Lewiston surrounded by gorgeous country and buzzing with local spirit, but it’s also a great spot for fans of marijuana. Maine legalized recreational marijuana back in 2016, but it wasn’t made available until October 2020. Lewiston currently doesn’t have any dispensaries that offer adult-use marijuana, but nearby Auburn and other cities do have dispensaries with adult-use licenses. Hopefully, more dispensaries will soon be permitted to sell recreational marijuana. Until then, please check with individual dispensaries for store-specific information on adult-use weed. The many medical dispensaries within Lewiston are open for business between the hours of 9 AM and 9 PM and offer a wide variety of products.
