On July 1, Maryland will implement new cannabis restrictions—capping THC
content in unlicensed products and boosting regulatory oversight of legal
cannabis.

The new law, HB 12/SB 214, prohibits unlicensed cannabis products from
containing more than 0.5 mg THC per serving or over 2.5 mg per package.
Those selling or distributing such items without a license face misdemeanor
charges and fines up to $5,000  .

Licensed dispensaries, dual-licensed to sell both medical and recreational
cannabis, remain unaffected—but unlicensed retailers must comply or risk
enforcement (). The crackdown targets loophole THC products on the market
without oversight, aiming to shield consumers, especially youth, from
untested or potent illicit goods ().

These cannabis rules join sweeping energy and environmental reforms—like
clean energy assessments and Chesapeake Bay protection—that also begin
July 1. But for shoppers and vendors, the cannabis changes mark a
significant shift in Maryland’s regulatory landscape  .
