1. Licensing

The law says that (1) anyone who wants to run a cannabis business must get a license from the division’s management. According to this subtitle, a cannabis license: (i) lets the holder run a business selling medical marijuana and cannabis for adult use; (ii) is valid for 5 years when first issued and for another 5 years when renewed; and (iii) can only be transferred in ways allowed by subtitle 5 of this title. (1) The management of the division must: (i) give out standard licenses, micro licenses, incubator space licenses, and on-site consumption licenses in line with this title; (2) Before July 1, 2023, change the licenses that were given to medical cannabis growers, processors, and dispensaries to licenses to run a company for both medical and adult use if the following conditions are met:

1. A conversion fee is paid in accordance with § 36–403 of this subtitle; and 2. The business complies with the ownership restrictions under subsection (e) of this section;(iii) Set production, processing, sales, and other limitations and requirements for all license types;(iv) Issue dispensary licenses in a manner that encourages a balanced geographic distribution based on population and market demand within a specific county, as well as cross-jurisdictional market demand; and(v) Consider market demand in the issuance of all license types;(vi) Adopt regulations requiring licensees whose licenses were converted by the division administration under item (ii) of this paragraph to reserve a specified amount of cannabis for social equity licensees.

This section says that the division administration can: (i) Check a cannabis licensee to make sure they are following this title and the rules made under it; (ii) Take away a cannabis license if the holder hasn’t made good faith efforts to open a cannabis business within 18 months of receiving the license; (iii) Fine or take away the license of a cannabis licensee that doesn’t meet the requirements set out in this title or According to the division administration, a standard license holder can:

(i) Growers: run an indoor canopy or something similar that covers more than 10,000 square feet but not more than 300,000 square feet; (ii) Processors: process more than 1,000 pounds of cannabis per year, also according to the division administration; and (iii) Dispensaries: run a store that sells cannabis or cannabis products. According to the division administration, a micro license holder can: (i) As a grower, use no more than 10,000 square feet of indoor canopy or its equivalent;

(ii) As a processor, handle no more than 1,000 pounds of cannabis per year; and (iii) as a dispensary, run a delivery service that sells cannabis or cannabis products without a physical storefront, as long as the owner has the right to run a place where a microlicensee can work.

Following the rules in § 36–407 of this subtitle, someone with an on-site consumption license can run a business where people can smoke cannabis outside, vape, or eat cannabis. As long as licenses are changed under subsection (b)(1)(ii) of this section, the division administration can’t give out more than the following number of those types of licenses:(1) 75 licenses for growers, 100 licenses for processors, and 300 licenses for dispensaries are included in standard licenses. (2) 100 licenses for growers, 100 licenses for processors, and 200 licenses for dispensaries are included in microlicenses.

(3) Ten licenses are assigned to incubator space, and (4) Fifty licenses are assigned for on-site consumption. (e) The first part of this section applies to all licenses, even those that were changed under the second part (b)(1)(ii). (2) A person can own or have control over, including the power to run and handle, only the following things, as long as these conditions are met:One grower licensee, one processor licensee, and no more than four dispensary licensees are allowed for standard and mini licenses. Two people are allowed for incubator space licenses, and two people are allowed for on-site consumption licenses.

There will be three rounds of licensing for cannabis businesses in Maryland because of the new rules for people who want to use marijuana. In the fall of 2023, there will be the first level. 2024 is the date of the second round. Before the first round of applications of the cannabis business starts, the Maryland Cannabis Administration will reach out to a lot of people and teach them about the licensing process.

Applicants and businesses that want to get a weed license will be able to learn how to do so at a variety of events, both in-person and online. There are a limited number of licenses that the cannabis section can give out for each type of cannabis.

For standard licenses:

75 grower licenses
100 processor licenses
300 dispensary licenses

For microlicenses:

100 grower licenses
100 processor licenses
200 dispensary licenses

For Incubator Space Licenses:

10 licenses
For on-site consumption licenses:
50 licenses

2. Operating Requirements

Legal point of view Either the dispensary must give qualified patients and registered caregivers access to the licensed premises for at least one hour a day or it must have a service line that only serves qualified patients and registered caregivers during the licensed premises’ operating hours. The MC encourages dispensaries to make extra accommodations for patients and caregivers, such as giving them priority access to the service area, designated parking spots, longer hours, or more service lines.

Reservations for products In general, shops need to make sure they have enough medical cannabis products on hand and keep the strongest products for medical patients. In particular, dispensaries can only sell these items to approved caregivers and patients who qualify: cannabis goods that are concentrated Cannabis capsules, tinctures, edibles, and non-edibles that have more than 10 mg of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) per dose or 100 mg of THC per package are not allowed.

Adults can buy the following: vapes and other gadgets for vaping cannabis Things for growing plants at home Cannabis items that can be used, like flower and pre-rolled cannabis capsules, tinctures, edibles, and non-edibles that are infused with cannabis and have up to 10 mg of THC per serving or 100 mg of THC per box Because of July 1, 2023, a cannabis licensee who runs a dispensary must: (1) make sure it has enough for qualifying patients and caregivers; (2) set aside specific hours or phone lines to serve only qualifying patients and caregivers; and (3) make sure that at least 25% of the shelves in the dispensary are filled with cannabis and cannabis products from social equity licensees, growers, and processors

As a good faith measure, dispensaries must set aside 25% of the products they sell to customers for products grown, made, extracted, or otherwise made by licensees who do not own or control the dispensary license holder and by social equity businesses once they are up and running. Businesses are told to give preference to items made by social equity businesses whenever they can.

A licensed dispensary can’t be located within (b) 500 feet of (i) an existing primary or secondary school in the state; (ii) a playground, recreation center, library, or public park; or (iii) 1,000 feet of (a) another licensed dispensary under this title, unless subsection (d) of this section applies. If a political subdivision wants to, it can pass an ordinance that lowers the distance standards set out in subsection (b). (d) The distance rules in (b) of this section don’t apply to a pharmacy license that was: (1) changed under § 36-401(b)(1)(ii); and (2) properly zoned and open for business before July 1, 2023.

Accommodations for Medical Patients:

According to state law, dispensaries must give registered caregivers and approved patients (1) private access to the licensed space for at least one hour a day or (2) a dedicated service line during business hours.

Medical patients are urged to make the following extra accommodations:

Longer hours
Extra lines for service
Faster access
Parking spots that are marked

Product Reservations

Dispensaries need to make sure they have enough medical cannabis products on hand, and only medical users should be able to use high-potency products.
Adults can buy vaporizers, items for growing cannabis at home, cannabis products that can be used, and edibles that have up to 10 mg of THC per serving or 100 mg per package.
Patients who meet the requirements and registered caregivers can buy cannabis goods that contain more than 10 mg of THC per serving or 100 mg per package.
Adult-use dispensaries must also try to keep at least 25% of their shelf space for cannabis and cannabis products from social equity licenses and growers or processors not owned by the dispensary.

Licensed Dispensaries Can’t Be Found in:

500 feet of pre-existing schools
Libraries
Public parks
1,000 feet of another dispensary under the same title
Child care centers
Playgrounds
Recreation centers

3. Security

Guidelines for keeping a Maryland drug store safe In Maryland, a registered dispensary must meet certain security standards to keep medical cannabis safe while it is being kept and distributed and to keep people from getting in without permission. These detailed steps include alarm systems, video surveillance, dividing buildings into zones, and controlling who can enter and leave a building.

Building the Premises and Making a Safe Room

The building where the licensed dispensary is located must be built in a way that successfully keeps people from getting in without permission.
The medical cannabis inventory must be kept safely in a secure room inside the store.
The safe room should meet the following requirements:

There should only be one door to the safe room, and it should meet business security standards.
To ensure high security, the front door must have a cypher or chip-activated coded lock.
The front door should be kept away from the building’s public places.
It has to be built out of concrete or another solid material to keep people from getting in without permission.
It is not allowed to be placed next to an outside wall.

The medical cannabis inventory must only be kept in the secure room during work hours and a specific window of time before and after.

Lighting And Surveillance

All of the approved space’s lighting should be carefully planned and put in place to make surveillance easier.
There needs to be a complete security alarm system that covers all entrances, windows, and openings around the outside of the building.
The security warning system has the following features:

The ability to detect smoke, fire, and power outages.
Place panic alarms in easy-to-reach places inside the building so they can be used immediately.
Continuous tracking makes sure that any security breaches are known right away.

A separate, independent alarm system is necessary to safeguard:

Any secure room containing medical cannabis.
On-site place to store records.
off-site place to store records.

The security devices have to keep going as long as there is medical cannabis on the property.
All security alarm systems should have backup power to keep them running for at least 48 hours.

Video Surveillance

1. The dispensary must always have a video surveillance device that records when it detects motion.
2. The following should be true about the video security system:

The image quality and resolution are very good, and it is able to capture facial features clearly.
Continuous running, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
A correct time and date stamp for every recorded frame.
3. Visitors must be able to see that there is video monitoring.

4. The videos from the monitoring should be recorded as

Access is limited.
Having its own separate security alarm system protects it.
Very easy to get to for investigations.
Held on to for at least 90 calendar days.
Any security video recordings must be given to the Commission or a law enforcement body within 48 hours of being asked to do so.

Zone Division And Access Control

1. The licensed dispensary must be divided into two distinct zones: public and operations.
2. Public Zone:

Restricted access to the service area, exclusively for qualifying patients and caregivers.
Display of business hours at the entrance to the public zone.
A waiting area open to the general public.
A service area for consulting with qualifying patients and caregivers and dispensing medical cannabis

3. Operations Zone:

Activities other than patient consultation and dispensing should take place in the operations zone.
The operations zone must be segmented for medical cannabis storage, preparation and packaging, agent breaks, and changing areas.
Movement to and from the operations zone should be documented using tamper-evident logbooks or electronic identification logs.

4. Only registered dispensary agents are authorized to handle inventory within display cases or other dispensary areas until it is dispensed.
5. Access points between zones should be securely controlled.
6. Security alarm systems and video surveillance should monitor the separation between zones.
7. Except for displayed, processed, or dispensed inventory during business hours, all medical cannabis must be stored in a secure room.
8. Clear signage should demarcate the different zones.

4. Advertising and Marketing

Legal definition: (a) “advertisement” in this subtitle means the release, distribution, or circulation of any audio, visual, digital, spoken, or written material that is directly or indirectly meant to sell cannabis or any product or service connected to cannabis. b) Labels and boxes are not “advertisement.” Any advertisement for cannabis, cannabis products, or cannabis-related services that makes medical or therapeutic claims must:

(2) Make a list of the worst and most usual risks or side effects of using marijuana. This section (a)(1) does not apply to ads placed on land that a dispensary, grower, or manufacturer owns or rents. (2) An ad for a cannabis licensee, a cannabis product, or a service connected to cannabis can’t: (1) say something that is materially false or misleading; or (2) break Title 13, Subtitle 3 of the commercial law article in some other way.

“Advertisement” can be any kind of communication that tries to sell cannabis or products or services connected to cannabis. It can be spoken, written, recorded, or shown.

It’s important to note that rules about medical claims in ads, packaging, and labels are not advertising.

Strong scientific evidence must support cannabis advertisements that claim cannabis or cannabis products are healthy or can help with health issues. Besides that, they should talk about the risks or side effects of using weed.

Advertisements for Cannabis Licensees, Cannabis Products, or Cannabis-Related Services Must Not:

Engage in advertising on television, radio, internet, mobile applications, social media, or other electronic communication, or print publication

Rules for companies that deal with cannabis

Cannabis-related websites need to use a fair age verification system to make sure users are at least 21 years old before they can access or view any content or give out personal information for advertising reasons.

Websites appropriate for qualifying patients under the age of 21 must provide an alternative screening mechanism for those patients.
Cannabis licensees are prohibited from allowing the use of their trademarks, brands, names, locations, or other distinguishing characteristics for third-party advertisements that are not compliant

$500 for the first violation

Dispensaries are prohibited from:

Selling, transferring, or delivering cannabis to visibly intoxicated individuals

6. Ecommerce

Legally speaking, a dispensary can take pre-orders for delivery or pick-up through an online buying system. Pre-ordering for pickup is currently only available to adults, qualifying patients, and caregivers. Delivery is only available to qualifying patients and caretakers. ○ Using an online ordering method, a dispensary must

(1) make sure the customer is at least 21 years old, a qualifying patient or registered caregiver, and

(2) Get the customer’s signature and contact information. When that happens, the online buying system can accept payment. A lawfully authorized dispensary can’t sell or give out cannabis through a third party, broker, or any other business or organization that isn’t registered. Access to a dispensary must be limited to qualified patients, their guardians, and adults over the age of 21.

It is illegal for a pharmacy to be open for more than 12 hours a day, or before 8 a.m. or after 10 p.m. The MCA may require dispensaries to prominently show valid proof of license, information on how to stay safe as a consumer, and rules about the minimum age and ID needed to buy marijuana.

7. Purchase Limits And Allowable Products

Legal reference: A dispensary can’t give out more weed in a single day than what is needed for personal use. Criminal Law Article §5-101 says that this includes: (1) no more than 1.5 ounces (oz) of usable cannabis; (2) no more than 12 grams (g) of concentrated cannabis; or (3) no more than 750 mg of cannabis goods that contain delta-9-THC.

As a reminder, you can only legally buy concentrated cannabis goods for medical reasons. Vaping devices for cannabis are weighed as concentrated cannabis for adult use, no matter how it was made, and a 12-gram cap applies to each transaction. Tinctures and capsules are also considered edible cannabis goods and are limited to 750 mg per transaction.

Therefore, the amounts that adults can buy outside of the medical market are in line with the present criminal law on marijuana possession: The amount of usable weed cannot be more than 1.5 ounces (oz). a. They make a category for cannabis goods that can be used. The flower that is i. pre-rolled and ii. stored in jars, other containers, or other ways; and ii. pre-packaged amounts. b. The flower sold to a person as a useful cannabis product cannot weigh more than 42.5 grams, or 1.5 ounces in total.

No more than 12 grams (g) of highly concentrated weed a. For adult-use sales, this group only includes cannabis vaporizing devices or fluid. For example, a 1-gram vape cartridge is legal for these sales because it contains 1 gram of concentrated cannabis. b. Everyone is limited to 12 grams of vapes, vape batteries, and other similar items, no matter how they were made. c. A person simply can’t buy any other concentrated product. 3. a number of cannabis goods that have less than 750 mg of delta-9-THC? This includes any other cannabis product as long as it has less than 10 mg per dose and 100 mg per package. It includes i. foods; ii. capsules; iii. tinctures; and iv. topicals and lotions (for example, “infused non-edibles”).

b. For adult use, one transaction cannot include more than 750 mg of THC from products in this group. c. Products with more than 10 mg of THC per dose or 100 mg of THC per package cannot be sold to people who are older than 18. It’s a combined cap. It is illegal for someone who is buying the maximum amount of any one type of cannabis product to also buy any other types of cannabis products. See examples of breaking the sales rules below: Sample Transaction Clause for Breaking the Law sixteen ounces of flower stuff. Total amount of usable weed sold is more than the Personal Use Amount limit of 1.5 ounces.

The package includes 1.5 ounces of flower and a 1-gram vape battery. The highest amount of usable cannabis and other products are included in the total sales amount. Eight one-gram disposable vapes and nine 0.5-gram vape batteries. Total grams of vape goods sold are 12.5 grams, which is 0.5 grams more than the 12-gram limit in the Personal Use Amount. Sample Transaction Clause for Breaking the Law These include seven bags of 100 mg THC edibles, a 50 mg THC tincture, and 3.5 grams of flower.

In total, 750 mg of THC-containing goods and more usable cannabis were sold. Six packages of 75 mg THC edibles, three bottles of 100 mg THC lotions, and a jar with ten 5 mg THC capsules In total, 800 mg of THC-containing goods are sold, which is more than the 750 mg limit for personal use. Additionally, pharmacy employees are required by law to refuse sales to any customer whose buying habits could easily be used for reselling or diverting products. The MCA could ask METRC about purchases that either (a) don’t follow the rules on sales or (b) fit a pattern of cannabis goods that could be used for illegal activities or resale.

Dispensaries can sell up to two clones or seedlings to adults aged 21 or older, and up to four to registered caregivers or approved patients aged 21 or older. Dispensaries can sell up to six seeds to any adult user, qualified patient, or registered caregiver. Someone working at a dispensary shouldn’t give cannabis to a customer who seems to be high or impaired, who is trying to buy cannabis goods to sell, or who wants to get more than the legal amount for personal use. Starting July 1, 2023, the following amounts are allowed for adults over the age of 21 to have: It’s legal to have up to 1.5 ounces of cannabis, 12 grams of concentrated cannabis, or cannabis goods that have up to 750 milligrams of delta-9-TCH.

or up to two marijuana plants Adults are allowed to grow two cannabis plants. The plants must be hidden from view and safeguarded so that people who aren’t supposed to be there or who are younger than 21 can’t get to them. Retail dispensaries can now sell goods for home cultivation to patients, caregivers, and consumers. Cannabis plant goods for home cultivation include clones, seeds, seedlings, stalks, roots, and stems. A licensed grower is the only one who can sell household cultivation goods to a licensed dispensary. Eating and drinking liquids (like drinks) are now legal for adults, according to these rules.

Within the context of making a liquid edible, one bottle is one serving, and that serving cannot have more than 10 mg of THC. Regarding production, packing, and labeling, liquid edibles must also follow the same rules as other edibles. This includes only letting factories with legal food permits make these goods.

Over-21-year-olds are allowed to have up to 1.5 ounces of flower, 12 grams of vape cartridges, or other cannabis goods that have up to 750 milligrams of Delta-9-THC. Adult shoppers can buy a mix of all the groups’ limits, but they can’t buy the most from one category.

Additionally, adults can grow up to two cannabis plants, but they need to be hidden from view and locked up so that people under 21 years old or not allowed to do so can’t get to them.

Sales limits and violations

Dispensaries must not knowingly dispense more than the personal use amount of cannabis to an individual in a single day. Examples of violations include:

Selling more than 1.5 ounces of flower
Combining the maximum amount of usable cannabis with additional products
Exceeding the limits on vape products, edible products, tinctures, lotions, or capsules containing THC

Dispensary agents must deny sales to consumers whose purchase patterns suggest the resale or diversion of cannabis products.

Sales of Clones, Seedlings, and Seeds

Dispensaries can sell up to two clones or seedlings to adults over 21 years old and up to four clones or seedlings to qualifying patients or registered caregivers. Up to six seeds can be sold to adult-use consumers, qualifying patients, or registered caregivers.

Home Cultivation Products and Requirements

Dispensaries may sell home cultivation products, such as clones, seeds, seedlings, stalks, roots, and stems, to customers, patients, and caregivers; dispensaries may only purchase home cultivation products from licensed growers.

Liquid Edible Products (beverages)

Liquid edible products, such as beverages, are authorized for adult consumers. Each container of liquid edible product is considered a single serving and must not contain more than 10 mg of THC. Production, packaging, and labeling of liquid edibles must comply with requirements for other edible products.
