Read MCA's regulations on COMAR on-line.

Update! On October 10, 2025, the Maryland Cannabis Administration (MCA)​ submitted to the Administrative, Executive and Legislative Review (AELR) committee the Notice of Proposed Action (NOPA) to amend COMAR 14.17.01, .02, .05, .06, .10-.15, .18, and .21. The MCA anticipates the NOPA will be published in the Maryland register mid-November for a 30-day public comment period. Please follow the instructions in the Maryland Register at that time to provide public comment. The DRAFT regulations can be found here​​. The NOPA reduces regulatory burdens for conditional licensees by extending the conditional license period from 18 to 24 months, reducing agent badging fees to $25, permitting walk-up windows at standard dispensaries, and permitting the production of high dose liquid edibles for the medical market. It includes a number of other policy updates and clarifications to improve health, safety, and compliance, including but not limited to granting pilot program authority to​ MCA, establishing  grower and processor decontamination protocols, and defining certain terms.
