I have been passionate about cannabis for most of my life, feel so lucky to finally be working in the industry. After a long career of being a manufacturing rep, regional sales manager, and of course the wonderful world of retail.
I began my journey with Cannabis as a patient in my early 20's around 2016, and it has been a large part of my life since. I am a lifelong Mainer and very proud to be so. I graduated from USM with a bachelor's degree in political science and was fortunate enough to gain some lobbying experience in Washington before I decided to plant roots in Western Maine. In 2021, I met my partner and soon-to-be husband, Seth. Seth had been a grower for years and we very quickly started building our brand, Crooked Jaw Farm. We are so proud to be able to offer top-shelf, clean, affordable medicine to our patients and retail partners all around the best state in the nation. We are so lucky to be able to do something that we love inside a community of people that we care about, and we're only able to do it because of organizations like MMCM. I'm looking forward to fighting the good fight alongside trailblazers in the Maine cannabis community to preserve and improve the medical program.

A 2012 graduate with a Master of Arts in Cultural Sustainability from Goucher College (Maryland), Meehan brings to the table diligent research backed by a 1991 Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Secondary Education from Fairfield University (Connecticut). With a unique combination of the analytical and the humanities, Meehan has worked most of her adult life in some form of education. Meehan’s diverse skill set includes solid writing and communication abilities, research and analysis, negotiation and networking, and medical experience from an Emergency Medical Technician/Volunteer Firefighter background as well as perspective as the parent of a medically fragile child. A ten-year employee of the Mohegan Tribal Government in Connecticut where she served as Cultural Outreach Specialist, Meehan retired in 2013 to move to Maine to legally access marijuana to save her daughter’s life. Cyndimae has Dravet Syndrome Epilepsy, a catastrophic form of epilepsy characterized by seizures that do not respond to typical medications. As of December 2015, for the first time in her life, Cyndimae has a virtually normal background EEG (brain waves). Additionally, using tinctures made from specific Maine-grown THCA/THC high strains, Cyndimae is having seizures once or twice a week instead of hundreds a day. Including all the various seizure types she has, Cyndimae’s seizures are over 99% reduced using cannabis. In 2014, Meehan started regularly contacting her state representatives and attending legislative hearings that involved marijuana. Meehan and her daughter have earned MMCM’s Patient Advocacy recognition for two consecutive years. Meehan feels strongly that this plant that has saved her daughter’s life should be a first line treatment for many diseases at a doctor’s and patient’s discretion. Additionally, Meehan deems it unconstitutional to restrict access to this plant thereby restricting people’s freedom of movement, their right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Meehan’s long-term goals include working toward federal de-scheduling and deregulation of this life-saving plant that was once the cornerstone of American pharmacopeia, early American farms, and many sustainable industries.
