MMCM Board of Directors

My Name is Tammy Smith and I have been an entrepreneur alongside my husband and family for as long as I can remember, starting our first venture while still in high school. Over the past 40 years, we have raised three children, have three beautiful grandchildren, owned a chain of video stores, a restaurant and resort property, an advertising company, a long-haul trucking company and for the past 7 years, Gram's Five & Dime Cannabis Co. Through all our family's endeavors, I have learned the value of hard work, integrity and working together. The MMCM organization and its Board of Directors align with those values, and I am proud to serve with them. I am excited to join my fellow board members with the support of our membership in the ongoing fight to keep our legal cannabis industry in Maine a program that protects and supports both the patients and the stakeholders.

I am a Medical Cannabis patient and an Owner of Homegrown of Augusta in Central Maine. I became a volunteer for MMCM in early 2014 at their 3rd annual Homegrown Maine Trade Show, I helped with the informational sessions and classes that MMCM hosted. Working with many advocates in the Medical Cannabis community, I learned so much and became very passionate about keeping the Medical Cannabis Program protected. I was selected to become a board member and the Treasurer of MMCM in September of 2014. I help keep track of the daily operations and finances for MMCM. I am working daily to help protect the program, so patients will have safe access to their medicine. I help Teach the classes for MMCM, so that all attendees understand the laws, rules and regulations involved in the Medical Cannabis industry, along with the business and client care. Also involved in helping with information for patient orientations, at various physician locations, for patients to know their rights and responsibilities. I enjoy dedicating my time to MMCM.
