Maryland's Medical Marijuana Industry to be Regulated by Alcohol and Tobacco Commission.

Maryland MMJ industry oversight to be transferred to state's alcohol and tobacco commission starting 2023. Adult-use sales legalized.

Beginning in 2023, the medical marijuana industry in Maryland, United States, will be regulated by the state's alcohol and tobacco commission.

The Marijuana Medical Commission of Maryland (MMCC) has been overseeing the state's medical marijuana industry since sales began in December 2017.

During the midterm elections in November, the situation changed as Maryland voters decided to legalize the sale of marijuana for adult use.

According to a press release from MMCC, the regulation of medical marijuana will transition from the Medical Marijuana Commission to the Alcohol and Tobacco Commission in 2023, as mandated by a law passed by voters.

According to an announcement, Chairperson Tiffany Randolph will step down on December 31st.

In the past five years, commission members and staff have established Maryland as a model for medical marijuana programs and have helped the state prepare for the transition to an expanded medical and adult-use market," said Randolph in a statement.

According to a press release, Dr. C. Obi Onyewu, current Vice-Chair of MMCC, will serve as acting Chair as Maryland launches a recreational marijuana market.

Starting from July 1, 2023, it will be legal for adults aged 21 and above to consume and possess up to 1.5 ounces of marijuana.

The true retail market may not begin until 2024 or 2025.
