Cannabis Laws in Maryland

Is weed legal in Maryland? Yes — recreational and medical cannabis are both legal here for adults 21+.

Maryland's adult-use retail market opened July 1, 2023. Adults 21+ may possess the personal-use amount: 1.5 oz flower, 12 g concentrate or 750 mg THC in cannabis products. The 2.5 oz flower threshold describes a civil-use offense, not additional lawful home possession. Households may grow 2 plants; registered medical patients may grow up to 4 plants per residence.

Federally, cannabis is still a controlled substance nationwide — but that status is in flux. See where rescheduling stands →
