Last Updated: July 17, 2026
Beach Boys Cannabis Co. (“Beach Boys,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you visit www.beachboyscannabis.com, communicate with us, visit one of our locations, participate in a loyalty program or promotion, or use an online service that links to this Privacy Policy.
Our website provides information and services for:
Adult-use recreational cannabis customers age 21 or older at our South Portland and Old Orchard Beach locations
Legally qualified medical cannabis cardholders at our South Portland medical cannabis location
Different eligibility, identification, purchase, advertising, and recordkeeping requirements apply to adult-use and medical cannabis services.
This Privacy Policy applies only to services operated by Beach Boys Cannabis Co. that link to it. Third-party websites, online menus, payment services, medical providers, social media platforms, and other independently operated services may have their own privacy policies.
1. Age and Eligibility
Adult-use recreational cannabis content, products, and transactions are intended only for individuals who are at least 21 years old.
Medical cannabis content and services are available only to qualifying patients, caregivers, or other individuals legally authorized to participate in Maine’s Medical Use of Cannabis Program. Legally qualified medical cardholders may include individuals under age 21, subject to Maine law and all applicable patient, caregiver, identification, and authorization requirements.
Our website’s age-selection or age-gate feature is only an initial screening tool. It does not replace identification, medical certification, patient documentation, or other eligibility checks required by law.
We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under age 18. We do not intentionally market adult-use cannabis to anyone under age 21.
If you believe a child or other ineligible minor has provided personal information to us, please contact us using the information in Section 18.
