Maryland marijuana laws: What to know about cannabis legalization .

What does this change mean for residents? Starting July 1, you will no longer need a medical marijuana card to purchase cannabis from dispensaries in the state. These “adult-use” purchases will have to pay 9% sales tax and are limited based on personal use amount.

If you are over 21 in Maryland, you will be able to have:

• Up to 1.5 oz of usable cannabis;

• Up to 12 g of concentrated cannabis;

• Cannabis products with up to 750 milligrams of Delta 9 THC;

• Up to two cannabis plants.

More legislation that passed the General Assembly also adjusted penalties surrounding smoking cannabis in public as well as when law enforcement can pull you over or search you.
