As of July 1, 2023, recreational/adult  use of marijuana is allowed under Maryland state law. Cannabis business owners, medical patients, and recreational users are all experiencing the repercussions of this change in the law.   Anyone over age 21 can purchase cannabis legally at Maryland dispensaries starting July 1, 2023.

It is legal to purchase, consume, and possess up to 1.5 ounces of cannabis flower in Maryland if you are at least 21 years old.   It is also legal to grow cannabis in your home (adults over 21 can home grow 2 plants, but medical patients can grow up to 4 plants). However, smoking is prohibited in public places and on any federal property, including parks and government buildings. Exceeding this possession limit may result in civil fines and criminal charges.
