Description

Cannabis in Maryland is legal for medical use and illegal for recreational use, but possession of 10 grams or less has been decriminalized.  Maryland lawmakers are gearing up for a legislative session where legalizing the drug for adult recreational use appears slated to be a top issue.  Will legalization occur?  How has cannabis law developed, in Maryland and other states?  Many believe that cannabis should be regarded as a public health issue vs. a criminal justice issue.
