Maryland-Licensed Dispensary FAQ
If you are a current medical cannabis patient in the state of Maryland or would like to become one, you may have questions about the policies, procedures, and regulations set forth by the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission. Continue reading for some of the most-common Maryland-licensed dispensary FAQ.
What Services Will a Dispensary be Able to Provide?
A Maryland-licensed dispensary will be authorized to distribute processed forms of medical cannabis as well as dried flower. In addition, they will be able to offer devices for consumption and delivery services.
Can a Dispensary Lose Its License?
Yes. Dispensaries will be routinely inspected by the Commission. If a major infraction is noted or if a dispensary fails an inspection, then they will be subjected to certain consequences. One of these consequences is the revocation of the dispensary’s license to dispense medical cannabis in Maryland.
Why Do the Maryland Regulations Exclude “Food” from the Permissible Types of Medical Cannabis-Infused Products? Does This Mean That All Edible Forms of Medical Cannabis Are Banned?
The Maryland Office of Food Safety currently regulates all food made or sold in the state. With that being said, there are not currently any regulations in place regarding the production of edible medical cannabis products.
However, medical cannabis is available in extracts, oils, and tinctures, which can be used to make edible forms of medical cannabis at home. It is important that patients have proper education about edible dosing and effects prior to attempting this.
What is a “Resident”?
According to the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission, a resident is defined as a person who currently lives in the state of Maryland.
Proof of residency can include: 1) Most recent Maryland tax return; 2) Most recent Maryland property tax bill; 3) Local gas and electric bill that is no more than 4 months old; 5) Valid Maryland Driver’s license or other documentation that serves as evidence of Maryland residency.
Are the Required Patient Warnings Adequate, Especially the Warning Regarding the Question of the Safety of the Use of Medical Cannabis by Pregnant Women?
The Commission believes that required patient warnings adequately advise medical marijuana patients to consume products with caution and avoid misuse.
This stance extends to the safety of the use of medical cannabis by pregnant women.
How Much Medical Cannabis and Medical Cannabis-Infused Product Can a Patient Obtain in 30 Days?
In order to ensure that patients are able to obtain enough medical marijuana to manage their condition and associated symptoms, the Commission permits patients to obtain up to 120 grams of usable cannabis in 30 days.
