+## #209 — Maine: concentrate limit inside the total allowance
+
+Read [28-B §1501(1)(B), (C), (E), (F)](https://legislature.maine.gov/statutes/28-B/title28-Bsec1501.html) and [OCP consumer FAQ](https://www.maine.gov/dafs/ocp/resources/faq). Adults 21+ may ordinarily carry, purchase or gift 2.5 oz total including at most 10 g concentrate. Section (E) separately protects the whole lawful personal crop kept at the residence or grow site. Read [17-A §1107-A(1)–(2)](https://legislature.maine.gov/statutes/17-A/title17-Asec1107-A.html), [§1101(1), (5)](https://legislature.maine.gov/statutes/17-A/title17-Asec1101.html) and [§1102(2)(C)(8), (4)(B)](https://legislature.maine.gov/statutes/17-A/title17-Asec1102.html): resin/hashish definitions and schedules differ from ordinary marijuana; a concentrate overage cannot simply inherit the flower-weight band. Removed the undifferentiated penalty shortcut without prescribing a universal concentrate charge. Corrected summary, possession, gifting, purchase and carry answer. Scores remain 5/4/6/5/3/6: the current text is being corrected, with no claim of a new 2026 change.
