Discover cannabis culture in Baltimore, MD

Actually the largest independent city in the United States, Baltimore is in the state of Maryland and located about 40 miles northeast of Washington, D.C. We’ve all heard the Star-Spangled Banner, but did you know the song was based on the defense of Fort McHenry located on the mouth of Baltimore’s Inner Harbor? Check out the animals and marine life at National Aquarium or Maryland Zoo in Baltimore for fun for all ages. The city’s walkable waterfront and Inner Harbor area is home to tons of fantastic seafood restaurants, eclectic shopping and amazing museums and attractions. Of course, sports fans will love catching an Orioles game at Camden Yards and cheering on their favorite sports teams.

Recreational marijuana is currently illegal in Baltimore. So for now, the city only allows medical marijuana. In 2017 the law became fully operational allowing any Maryland resident who has an approved medical condition and certified by a participating physician in the program to apply. Maryland defines qualifying medical conditions to include cachexia, anorexia, wasting syndrome, severe or chronic pain, severe nausea, seizures, severe or persistent muscle spasms, glaucoma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or another chronic medical condition that is severe and for which other treatments have been ineffective. Anyone whom a doctor deems a patient qualified to receive medical marijuana can receive their MMJ card, but those under the age of 18 are required to have at least one parent or guardian over the age of 21 as a caregiver. If you’re not a medical patient or caregiver and the police catch you possessing less than 10 grams of marijuana, it’s only considered a civil offense subject to a fine of $100. But anything between 10 grams and 50 lbs is a misdemeanor subject to fines of $1000 and 1 year of jail time.
