Laws & Regulations
Maryland’s cannabis industry is governed by the Cannabis Reform Act of 2023, which established a unified legal framework for both medical and adult-use cannabis. Regulatory authority is divided between the MCA and the ATCC, which oversee licensing, compliance, enforcement, and public safety.
The MCA enforces detailed rules related to cultivation, processing, dispensing, packaging, and testing, ensuring public health and product integrity. Comprehensive guidance documents and updated regulatory frameworks are published under the Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR 14.17).
