Now home to loads of unique cannabis dispensaries, over 190 flower strains, and countless other weed products, Maryland has managed to keep its local charm in an industry that multi-state operators increasingly control. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/onestop.md.gov\/tags\/6021cfc0f8fe400104854c76\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Maryland Cannabis Administration<\/a>, more than 65% of dispensaries in the state are still owned by in-state operators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The abundance of dispensaries and state-specific products, beautiful scenery, and a handful of 420-friendly accommodations give cannabis tourists plenty to enjoy. Below, check out our 420-friendly guide to Maryland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/dispensaries\/in\/united-states\/maryland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Find cannabis in Maryland<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"cannabis-laws-and-legalization-in-maryland\">\n\tCannabis laws and legalization in Maryland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">State-licensed dispensaries are the <a href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/laws-and-regulations\/maryland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">only legal places to buy cannabis in Maryland<\/a>. Adults 21 years and older can purchase up to 1.5 ounces (42.5 grams) of cannabis flower, up to 12 grams of concentrated cannabis, or a combined 750 milligrams of THC per day \u2014 and you can only consume the plant at a private residence. As a caveat to the law, recreational buyers can't purchase <a href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/dictionary\/cannabis-concentrates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cannabis concentrates<\/a> right now, only vapes and edibles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Other restrictions include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>At-home cultivation: <\/strong>Growing up to two plants is allowed per household, as long as the plants are secured where children can't reach them and grown out of public sight. State law expands the number of plants for medical cannabis patients to four per household.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lounges:<\/strong> The Maryland legislature plans to finalize licensing for cannabis lounges, where consumers can legally smoke the plant at a legal venue, not unlike drinking at a bar. But they won't open until May 2024 at the very earliest.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Delivery options:<\/strong> Dispensaries can't legally deliver recreational cannabis until July 2024, but a few dozen offer limited medical marijuana delivery to registered patients' private residences. Delivery could open for recreation in the new year, and regulators at the Maryland Cannabis Administration expect dozens of new applicants to begin offering the service. For now, less than 40 of the state's 98 operating dispensaries offer delivery for medical patients.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"where-to-find-the-best-dispensaries-in-maryland\">\n\tWhere to find the best dispensaries in Maryland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-gold-leaf-in-annapolis\"><strong>Gold Leaf in Annapolis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Countless dispensaries have aimed to be the \u201cApple Store\u201d of cannabis, but Gold Leaf fits the bill better than any other.

You'll need a medical card to buy medical cannabis in Maryland, which you likely won't have if you're just visiting. Unlike many other medical cannabis states, Maryland does not accept reciprocity \u2014 meaning out-of-state patients can't use medical marijuana cards from their home state. To buy recreational cannabis, you must be 21 and have an ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-can-i-expect-when-shopping-at-a-maryland-dispensary\"><strong>What can I expect when shopping at a Maryland dispensary?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">State law requires Maryland dispensaries to keep their cannabis products out of sight from the building's front door and outside windows, so every dispensary in the state should have a lobby area that you need to pass through before going into the actual shopping area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every dispensary is different, but most follow a similar procedure. When you walk inside, you'll see a desk, a receptionist to check you in, and likely some other customers waiting in the main lobby.\u00a0The receptionist will ask for your ID. Dispensaries are not legally required to take down your information, but most do anyway. You might also be asked to fill out a consent form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it's your turn, a budtender will meet you at the entrance to the shopping area. The budtender will likely escort you inside and be available to answer any questions. From there, it's like shopping elsewhere: products are displayed in jars, on shelves, or behind glass cases. When you decide what you want, let your budtender know, and they'll bring it behind the counter for you to purchase. We highly recommend tipping your budtenders, but the exact amount is less cut-and-dry than in other industries. Take note of any helpful tips or advice that help you make your purchase and tip accordingly. Most budtenders generally appreciate a 5 - 10% tip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-much-cannabis-can-i-buy-in-maryland\"><strong>How much cannabis can I buy in Maryland?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can legally buy up to 1.5 ounces of cannabis flower or up to 12 grams of concentrated cannabis in the form of vape products and edibles \u2014 concentrates are the only no-go for adult-use buyers, but medical cardholders can still buy them. Your total amount of daily THC purchased as a recreational buyer cannot exceed 750 milligrams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It's not worth trying to stockpile cannabis. If a police officer catches you with more than the daily limit in your possession, you can face a fine of up to $1,000 and a misdemeanor citation. Try to consume most of your weed before returning to the dispensary to buy more. Federal law also prohibits crossing state lines with cannabis, even from one weed-legal state to another. Your best bet is to use up your product before leaving town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-are-maryland-dispensaries-still-cash-only-or-can-i-use-a-card-what-about-other-forms-of-payment-like-apple-pay-and-cryptocurrency\"><strong>Are Maryland dispensaries still cash-only, or can I use a card? What about other forms of payment, like Apple Pay and cryptocurrency?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dispensaries have explored all kinds of ways to move away from cash. But as long as weed is federally illegal, card payment is tricky. Some Maryland dispensaries accept debit cards, but none take credit or Apple Pay, and they run the debit cards as \u201ccashless ATM\" transactions through your bank. Essentially, handheld card readers at dispensary registers disguise your weed purchase as cash withdrawals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tricky part? Weed receipts rarely land on even dollar figures after taxes, but most ATMs force customers to round to the nearest $10 or $20. So if you buy an eighth ounce of bud for $36.65, you have to pay $40 through your debit card, only to get $3.35 in cash back from the budtender at the register. Dispensaries usually round up to the nearest dollar, then tack on ATM fees ranging from $2 to $5. Cash is still the best bet by far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-i-buy-from-multiple-dispensaries-in-maryland-on-the-same-day\"><strong>Can I buy from multiple dispensaries in Maryland on the same day?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, as long as you're under the daily purchase limit or avoid buying from the same dispensary chain. Maryland doesn't have a state tracking system for recreational buyers, meaning one store won't know if you've already been to another. Be careful, though: If you buy from multiple stores owned by the same parent company, the stores will likely have a record of your purchases in their system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-can-i-use-cannabis-in-maryland\"><strong>Where can I use cannabis in Maryland?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maryland only lets cannabis consumers light up within private residences. All public places \u2014 such as parks, campgrounds, and national forests \u2014 are off-limits, as are bars, coffee houses, and even the dispensary where you bought the weed. It's possible to get away with lighting up in one of Maryland's state parks or on its many beaches, but getting caught by police could put a dent in your wallet and leave an unwanted stain on your record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cannabis consumption lounges are in the works, but we're still a year away from them opening in Maryland. If you want to smoke somewhere legally, look for a weed-friendly Airbnb, the lodge at Fingerboard Farm, or the Ceylon House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
