This expansion adds to their growing presence in Massachusetts and New Mexico, giving Maine residents the chance to experience the "Dispensoria Difference" crafted by the "Godfathers of Ganja" themselves, Cheech & Chong. The first Cheech & Chong's Dispensoria in Maine will open its doors in Portland on October 10, with additional stores in Bangor and Milo coming soon.

In partnership with East Coast Gold Inc., this expansion allows Mainers to enjoy the unique retail experience that Cheech & Chong are known for - blending high-quality products with a fun, welcoming environment that fosters community and celebrates cannabis culture.

"Partnering with Cheech & Chong is a dream come true," said Avi Ruimy, owner of East Coast Gold Inc. "We're so excited to bring a retail experience unlike any other to Maine. With multiple locations in the works, we can't wait to bring this legendary brand across the state."

"Our Dispensorias are about more than just buying cannabis - they immerse you in a world where cannabis culture is celebrated with humor and fun," said Cheech Marin, co-founder of Cheech and Chong's Cannabis Company. "We wanted to create a space that's welcoming, laid-back, and makes the whole experience enjoyable from the moment you walk through the door."

"We wanted to give people a place where they can smile while they shop," added Tommy Chong. "The plant brings joy, and the space where you get it should too."

The design of Cheech & Chong's Dispensorias reflects the quirky and fun-loving nature of the duo, making them non-intimidating and inviting for all cannabis consumers, from the "canna-curious" to certified "canna-connoisseurs."

The funky, colorful design encourages a relaxed atmosphere where everyone feels welcome.

"At Cheech and Chong's Cannabis Company, community is at the heart of everything we do," said Jasmine Marin, VP of Design for Cheech and Chong's Cannabis Co. "We've created spaces that are inclusive and inviting for everyone. The funky designs aren't just for fun - they make our stores approachable, bringing Cheech & Chong's mission of making cannabis more accessible to life in full color."
