Maryland Marijuana Employer Guidelines
“Recreational vs. personal” use of marijuana: We recognize that a majority of the country uses the term “recreational use” when referring to states that have legalized possession and use of limited amounts of marijuana for those over 21.Maryland personal and medical use of marijuana.
Medical Use: Governor O’Malley signed SB 923/HB 881 on April 14, 2014, establishing the "Natalie M. LaPrade Medical Marijuana Commission." The law does not restrict employer action; the statute establishes the Commission and regulates medical professionals, dispensaries, and growth centers.
Personal Use: There are several efforts underway to pass legislation decriminalizing the personal use of marijuana. This will be on the ballot for November 2022 elections.
