How to Register with Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission (MMCC) in 2025?

Marijuana is legal in Maryland only for medical use. It is one of 38 states in the U.S. that partially recognizes weed. However, to possess and consume medical marijuana, you will need a license from the state. This is monitored and provided by the state. The otherwise use of weed for recreational and adult use is prohibited by the government with a limited exemption for non-patient residents of Maryland.
