Maryland dispensaries began selling recreational cannabis for adult use July 1, 2023, the date set for legalization by the ballot question voters. The state completed the transition despite a short runway, with less than two months between Gov. Wes Moore’s signing the cannabis reform law and recreational sales beginning.

Maryland taxes nonmedical marijuana sales at a rate of 9%, and netted $41.4 million in revenue the first nine months of legalized recreational cannabis, according to the state comptroller’s office.
