Lawmakers already approved legislation this year to take steps to changing the law regarding cannabis, but the General Assembly left matters of licensing and taxes for lawmakers to decide next year.
The constitutional amendment defines that recreational marijuana would not be legal until July 2023 for people 21 and over, subject to a requirement that the General Assembly pass legislation in its next session regarding distribution, regulation and taxation of cannabis.
Maryland joins Washington, D.C., and 19 other states that have legalized adult-use cannabis. Voters four other states also were voting Tuesday on recreational marijuana.
Even though Maryland voters chose to legalize recreational cannabis, it doesn’t mean that any adult aged 21 and older will be able to walk into the nearest dispensary and legally buy cannabis. Tuesday’s vote essentially gives Maryland lawmakers the green light to go ahead and set up a recreational industry that could start as soon as July 1.
Oh goodie, the new GOV will take credit for approving the tax rate for a plant that grows out of the ground. No different than groceries.
Really think about it amd dont get on ones “high” horse about it. Many of you were not around in the 50s and 60s when again it was a plant grown from the ground. Aka mother earth, which that generation said was taboo. Just like alcohol for 10yrs
Never be afraid of the unknown.
Ocean City voters said adios to Mark Paddock too. We were done with his antics before his drunken spring reveal at the pizza place.
You sir are the Biggest Loser – Goodbye!
More tax money for the government to pi$$ away
Amen on Paddock, he wasn’t worth a dam as a cop, even worse as a Councilman. Only bad thing is Proctor wouldn’t have got in if anyone else would have run. She’s lazy, dizzy, and has said publicly doesn’t have time for the job.
Funnier…..over 1700 folks voted for Rickie. Hello??? He was running unopposed meaning he won b4 folks voted.
7700 capable voters and the turnout was again putrid. Same crap over and over again. Sure have more than 7700 owners on the 10 mile island…..but nooooo
Eventually it will change. But not now with our $3.91 a gallon for gas. $3.91 the island is already dead prior to winter.
Why?
Just stay STONED since you can’t Pay your Bills or have a Life !!!!
America Ruined with Democrats > STAY STONED !!!
Stoned > so you vote Democrat by mistake on the Ballots !!!!
