Hive Medicinal
About Hive Medicinal
Located just off River Rd in Chelsea, this medical dispensary draws patients from across central Maine, including couples willing to drive 45 minutes one way for their regular pickup. The 4.7 rating across 210 reviews reflects a long-running operation with strong patient loyalty rather than a flashy newcomer. Veterans receive a meaningful discount that gets called out repeatedly in reviews, which suggests the policy is consistent rather than promotional. Flower, edibles, and other product lines all draw positive mentions, with the layout described as clean and easy to navigate once you find the spot. Weekday hours run 9 AM to 7 PM, with Saturday matching that schedule and Sunday cutting back to 11 AM through 4 PM. One sticking point: some customers report Sunday hours being inconsistent with what's posted, so calling ahead on weekends is smart. The Chelsea location puts patients within easy reach of Augusta, Gardiner, and the Hallowell corridor.
- Strong veteran discount program
- Clean store, easy layout
- Worth the long drive

Customer Reviews
It's Sunday hours say 11-4. I'm here at 12:15 and they are closed. Drove almost and hour just for there flower. Not professional at all.
Clean store, pretty cool set up and easy to find. I found some good stuff.
I've been coming to this shop for over a year. Staff is always very friendly, very welcoming and always knowledgeable. I get great recommendations and today I'll be trying the Amnesia Haze Live Rosin and I'm really excited. I've seen reviews that say people feel rushed sometimes but that has never been my personal experience here so I encourage everyone to stop in at least once :)
My husband and I are both medical patients, and we have been going to Hive Medicinal for years. We travel about 45 minutes one way just to go to their dispensary. My husband is a veteran, and I can honestly say they take good care of their veteran patients, even giving them an incredible discount. Their flower, edibles, and other products are high quality. The staff are friendly, helpful, and can answer any questions about their products. The shop is always clean and well-stocked. Hive Medicinal is always worth the trip!
Saw this place going out to look for a car for the wife. Ended up stopping back and on my way back home. Love the experience. Very helpful and knowledgeable. Staff definitely will be returning customer. Yeah
