FAQs
Quick answers to what our budtenders hear most often. For deeper coverage, the guides above go further on each topic.
Who can legally buy cannabis in Maryland?
Adults 21 and older can buy adult-use cannabis at any licensed Maryland dispensary with a valid government-issued ID. Medical patients can buy through Maryland's medical program once registered with the Maryland Cannabis Administration (MCA) — patients with qualifying conditions, with no age minimum (minors purchase through a registered caregiver). Both programs are overseen by the Maryland Cannabis Administration.
Do I need a medical card to buy cannabis in Maryland?
No. Adult-use retail sales began July 1, 2023, so anyone 21 or older can buy at a licensed Maryland dispensary with a valid ID. A Maryland medical card still has advantages worth considering — medical patients are exempt from the adult-use sales tax and can access patient-specific benefits — but it's no longer the only way to purchase.
How much cannabis can I buy at one time in Maryland?
Maryland sets a "personal use amount" for adults 21 and older: up to 1.5 ounces of cannabis flower, 12 grams of concentrate, or cannabis products containing up to 750 mg of THC. Medical patients have separate limits tied to their MCA registration. Limits and tax rules change as the program evolves — check the Maryland Cannabis Administration for the most current rules.
