A Brief Overview of the Maryland Medical Marijuanas Program

Maryland became legal for medical marijuanas in 2017. The Maryland Cannabis Administration (MCA) has a clear set of rules regarding who can and cannot qualify to become a medical marijuanas patient, including what conditions are considered viable for treatment. The list of qualifying conditions for medical marijuanas in MD includes several conditions, including:

• Cachexia
• Glaucoma
• Anorexia
• PTSD
• Persistent muscle spasms
• Seizures
• Severe nausea

Maryland’s laws do include a caveat that can be important to remember when it comes to qualifying for medical marijuanas. The laws also state patients with other chronic medical conditions may qualify to become a patient if other treatments have not been effective.

How Much Does Medical Marijuanas Cost in Maryland?

Costs for medical marijuanas products in MD vary depending on the type of product, the potency, and even where you shop. Therefore, it can be difficult to pin down a precise price. However, you can estimate a general price range by looking at online menus hosted by the state’s medical dispensaries. A few general price averages for different products include:

• Marijuanas flower 3.5 grams – $30 to $60
• Marijuanas concentrate 1 gram – $40 to $60
• Marijuanas vape cartridges .5 gram – $30 to $55

How Much Medical Marijuanas Can You Buy in Maryland?

The MCA calls the monthly allotment for a medical marijuanas patient an Amount Certified (AC). The standard AC in a 30-day period is either 120 grams of cannabis flower or 36 grams of another THC product. However, patients can have a higher AC if their provider says a patient would benefit from a higher amount than what the state deems as standard.

In MD, the 30-day rule does not go by the month. Instead, the cycle is on a 30-day rolling basis. So, when you visit a dispensary to make a purchase, whatever you have purchased in the prior 30 days will be deducted from the amount you are allowed to purchase. For example, if you’ve purchased 100 grams of flower in the prior 30 days, you can only purchase 20 more grams.

You can purchase your full 30-day AC during one visit. But if you do so, you won’t be able to make another purchase for 30 days. Also, it should be noted that that flower or other THC product AC is a combined limit. If you use 100 percent of your allotment for flower for the month, you won’t be able to purchase other THC products.

Medical marijuanas cardholders have access to a full range of products in MD. You can purchase flower, but also topicals, tinctures, edibles, concentrates, vaporizers, and pre-rolls. There are also no potency caps in MD.
