In order to be afforded legal protection of the Maryland Medical Marijuana law, qualified medical marijuana patients must register with the state patient registry and possess a valid identification card by submitting a marijuana card application to the Maryland Natalie M. LaPrade Medical Marijuana Commission. The Maryland medical marijuana card is a state-recognized form of patient identification, issued by the Medical Marijuana Commission and Department of Health & Mental Hygiene.
Beginning June 2016, the Medical Marijuana Commission and Department of Health & Mental Hygiene may start to issue the number of medical marijuana dispensary licenses necessary to meet the demand for medical marijuana by qualifying patients and caregivers that have been issued identification cards.
A Maryland marijuana card qualifies you to walk into any approved marijuana dispensary and purchase the best cannabis brands at relatively low prices. With this card, you’ll enjoy the full protection of the law, which allows you to be in possession of a specific quantity of this powerful herb.
