If you’re planning to apply for medical cannabis, it’s important to understand the laws in your state. Below are some of the basics relating to possession, cultivation, purchasing, and more.
Purchasing
How much cannabis can you buy at one time? It depends on the certification you’ve been issued. When you apply for medical cannabis, your provider specifies the amount of dried flower you can purchase in a 30-day period. This is a rolling 30-day period, not by calendar month.
Cultivation
Maryland legislation does not permit patients to grow cannabis at home.
Products available
Currently, only cannabis flower is available for medical use in Maryland. Edible products are not permitted.
