2016 brings full decriminalization | MPP and their allies have been making steady progress rolling back Maryland’s war on marijuana. In 2014, then-Gov. Martin O’Malley signed legislation to replace criminal penalties for the possession of small amounts of marijuana with a civil fine. In 2015, the General Assembly passed Sen. Bobby Zirkin’s SB 517, which completed the reform by decriminalizing the possession of marijuana paraphernalia (a term which included the baggie the marijuana was in), but this was vetoed by Gov. Larry Hogan. Thankfully, the legislature overrode his veto, so on February 20, 2016, marijuana possession was fully decriminalized. Click here to >> Read more >>

    Status of Medical Marijuana (Cannabis) in Maryland.

    Maryland has a MEDICAL MARIJUANA (cannabis) LAW

    A brief history: Maryland’s first medical marijuana law merely prevented patients who had been charged with possessing up to an ounce of marijuana from being convicted if they could prove medical necessity. Then in 2013, Maryland lawmakers approved a law creating an unworkable research-based program that depended on teaching hospitals, which were unwilling to risk their federal funding to participate. Finally in 2014, Maryland passed a workable medical marijuana law, which allows qualifying patients to possess up to a 30-day supply of medical marijuana (as determined by the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission) and allows licensed dispensaries to distribute medical marijuana grown by a maximum of 15 licensed cultivators. Patients and caregivers are not permitted to grown their own marijuana.

    Maryland - Status, Medical Use Medical Cannabis in Maryland - wikipedia.org | The legislature of Maryland passed a "medical marijuana affirmative defense law" in the year 2003, and amended it May 10, 2011. If someone is being prosecuted by the state for certain marijuana related crimes, then the court is required by law to consider a defendant's "medical necessity. "If medical necessity is proven, possession up to one ounce carries no penalty - higher possession and cultivation may then only be fined $100. In April 2014, The Maryland legislature passed a bill lowering penalties for small amounts of marijuana possession to civil fines. Learn more >>

    HISTORY: Maryland's legislature passed a medical marijuana affirmative defense law in 2003. This law requires the court to consider a defendant's use of medical marijuana to be a mitigating factor in marijuana-related state prosecution. If the patient, post-arrest, successfully makes the case at trial that his or her use of marijuana is one of medical necessity, then the maximum penalty allowed by law would be a $100 fine.

    Maryland - Status, current As of June 1, 2011, patients whose doctors have diagnosed them with a debilitating medical condition (including a condition that is “severe and resistant to conventional medicine”) can assert the medical use of marijuana as an affirmative defense. In addition to having a debilitating condition, patients will need to show that the doctor who made the diagnosis was one with whom the patient has an ongoing, bona-fide physician-patient relationship, and that marijuana is likely to provide him or her with therapeutic or palliative relief. Finally, the defense Is not available to anyone in possession of more than one ounce of marijuana or who uses marijuana in a public place. For patients who don’t qualify for the full affirmative defense, there is also a sentencing mitigation whereby, upon conviction, he or she can present evidence of “medical necessity.” If the court agrees, the maximum penalty that can be imposed is a $100 fine.

    AMENDMENT(s):   Yes

      Amended: Senate Bill 308, signed into law on May 10, 2011, removes fines and criminal penalties for citizens who successfully raise an 'affirmative defense' in court establishing that they possessed limited amounts (one ounce or less) of marijuana for medical purposes. Citizens who cultivate cannabis or who possess larger amounts of marijuana may still raise an affirmative defense at trial and, if successful, will have their sentence mitigated.

      Amended: House Bill 1101, signed into law on May 2, 2013, establishes an independent, 12-member medical marijuana commission within the state Department of Health. The commission will request applications from Maryland academic medical centers to operate 'medical marijuana compassionate use programs.' Members of the commission will decide which patients will qualify for the programs and will license growers to provide cannabis for therapeutic purposes. The law took effect on October 1, 2013. However, no state-sanctioned research programs are expected to be operational until 2015 or later.

    MARYLAND'S MEDICAL MARIJUANA LAW IS BROKEN!

    Maryland - Action, Change It's True. Medical marijuana patients are treated like criminals in Maryland. They can still be arrested, prosecuted, and convicted - even if they possess a doctor's recommendation. Marylanders who suffer from serious or chronic disease deserve a law that works. Support access to an effective medicine and real protections for patients. We are not criminals. We ­are mothers, fathers, sisters, employees, and business owners. We take care of our families, we pay taxes, and we vote. Help us fix Maryland's medical marijuana law.

    Maryland - Action, Change ASA MoCo Chapter History Since 2007, ASA chapters in MD have hosted numerous meetings, provided trainings and teach-ins across the state, organized art parties, and created a public presence by attending street festivals in Bethesda, Wheaton, Fell’s Point, and outside the M&T Bank Stadium during the Baltimore Ravens’ home games – all to spread awareness about medical cannabis and to recruit new members. The chapters worked with the Drug Policy Alliance to promote the Maryland Patients for Access campaign, designed to build grassroots support and identify potential leadership for upcoming reform efforts. In addition to public awareness sessions, the ASA chapters have hosted spokesperson and media trainings, making Marylanders better informed about of the vulnerabilities that patient’s face and how to navigate law enforcement encounters.

    Maryland - Action, Change ASA MARYLAND EVENTS | HB 1339 Introduced - Call your State Delegates! Delegate Henry Heller (D-Montgomery County) introduced legislation, HB 1339, that creates a task force to study the issues related to medical marijuana throughout the state of Maryland. If the bill passes, the State Department of Health and Mental Hygiene would be required to staff a Governor-appointed task force to evaluate whether the current state law is effective, fair, and equally enforced across all state jurisdictions in addition to other issues concerning the limited, therapeutic use of cannabis.

    Current Law

    SUMMARY: The "Darrell Putman" Bill -- Resolution #0756-2003 -- Approved in the state senate by a vote of 29-17. Signed into law by Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich, Jr. on May 22, 2003 Effective: Oct. 1, 2003 | Maryland's legislature passed a medical marijuana affirmative defense law in 2003. The law allows defendents being prosecuted for the use or possession of marijuana to introduce evidence of medical necessity and physician approval, to be considered by the court as a mitigating factor. This law requires the court to consider a defendant's use of medical marijuana to be a mitigating factor in marijuana-related state prosecution. If the patient, post-arrest, successfully makes the case at trial that his or her use of marijuana is one of medical necessity, then the maximum penalty allowed by law would be a $100 fine. The law, however, does not protect users of medical marijuana from arrest or establish a registry program, or allowing growing, etc.   See - Senate Bill 502 (PDF 72 KB), MEDICAL MARIJUANA STATUTES: Maryland Darnell Putman Compassionate Use Act, §5-601(3)(II) (2003).

    Places that have decriminalized non-medical cannabis in the United States Places that have decriminalized non-medical cannabis in the United States - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | Multiple places have decriminalized non-medical cannabis in the United States; however, cannabis is illegal under federal law. Gonzales v. Raich (2005) held in a 6-3 decision that the Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution allowed the federal government to ban the use of cannabis, including medical use even if local laws allow it. Most places that have decriminalized cannabis have civil fines, drug education, or drug treatment in place of incarceration and/or criminal charges for possession of small amounts of cannabis, or have made various cannabis offenses the lowest priority for law enforcement.

    Maryland, News - 2016 brings full decriminalization 2016 brings full decriminalization - Last update: August 15, 2016 | MPP and our allies have been making steady progress rolling back Maryland’s war on marijuana. In 2014, then-Gov. Martin O’Malley signed legislation to replace criminal penalties for the possession of small amounts of marijuana with a civil fine. In 2015, the General Assembly passed Sen. Bobby Zirkin’s SB 517, which completed the reform by decriminalizing the possession of marijuana paraphernalia (a term which included the baggie the marijuana was in), but this was vetoed by Gov. Larry Hogan. Thankfully, the legislature overrode his veto, so on February 20, 2016, marijuana possession was fully decriminalized. >>   Visit - http://www.mpp.org/states/maryland/

    Meanwhile, while eliminating criminal penalties for adults who choose to use a substance that is safer than alcohol is a great step forward, the most recent poll shows that 54% of Marylanders want the legislature to go further and tax and regulate marijuana. While a bill to tax and regulate marijuana did not move forward during this year’s session, which ended in April, we are already gearing up for a strong push next year. To get involved in helping pass this important reform, you can support the Maryland Cannabis Policy Coalition and email your lawmakers in support of ending marijuana prohibition. >>   Visit - http://www.mpp.org/states/maryland/

    Attempt to move backwards defeated | Several bills were introduced in the 2016 session that would have taken the state in the wrong direction by recriminalizing smoking marijuana in public — which was already punishable by a civil fine of up to $500. Criminal convictions result in more than 150 collateral consequences and can derail dreams by making it difficult to get jobs, housing, and an education. In addition, it is likely that racial disparities in enforcement would have continued. One of these bills, HB 777, passed the House of Delegates. If you’d like to find out how your delegate(s) voted, click here; you can look up your delegate(s) here. Another unwise bill, which would have criminalized smoking marijuana in a parked car, also passed the house. Luckily, after strong resistance from MPP and others, Senate Judicial Proceedings Chair Bobby Zirkin refused to move these bills forward, and they died in his committee.

    Medical marijuana | Also in 2016, the General Assembly passed a bill, HB 104, that will improve Maryland’s medical cannabis program by expanding the list of providers who can recommend it. The list will now include dentists, podiatrists, and nurse practitioners, all of whom can already prescribe far more dangerous drugs, such as opioid painkillers. Gov. Hogan signed the bill, which will take effect June 1, 2017. In addition, the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission has determined which cultivators and processors will receive preliminary licenses and will do the same for dispensaries this fall. Dispensaries are expected to finally open in the summer of 2017, meaning that Maryland will have one of the slowest rollouts of comparable states.

    A brief history: Maryland’s first medical marijuana law merely prevented patients who had been charged with possessing up to an ounce of marijuana from being convicted if they could prove medical necessity. Then in 2013, Maryland lawmakers approved a law creating an unworkable research-based program that depended on teaching hospitals, which were unwilling to risk their federal funding to participate. Finally in 2014, Maryland passed a workable medical marijuana law, which allows qualifying patients to possess up to a 30-day supply of medical marijuana (as determined by the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission) and allows licensed dispensaries to distribute medical marijuana grown by a maximum of 15 licensed cultivators. Patients and caregivers are not permitted to grown their own marijuana.

      some HISTORY  

    Maryland Cases Show Law's Flaws, Activists Say

    Maryland's medical marijuana law worked as intended in two cases this month, but activists say the cases show the problems with the law and have vowed to press for changes. Each of the cases involved a seriously ill patient - including one who is a founding member of the local chapter of Americans for Safe Access -- who received $100 fines and misdemeanor convictions after demonstrating that their doctors had recommended cannabis for their conditions.

    "ASA-Maryland is more committed than ever to changing our state's medical marijuana law," said Tony Bowles, the chapter's spokesperson. "We should not be wasting the limited resources of the state on multi-day trials that result in a simple $100 fine. The law should provide better protection for patients and direction for law enforcement." In the unrelated cases, each patient had been charged with felony possession with intent to distribute. Maryland law still classifies medical use of marijuana as a criminal offense, but limits the punishment to misdemeanor possession with a fine of $100.

    One case involved a woman who uses cannabis to control her epilepsy, the other a man who suffers from a condition that causes episodes of severe vomiting that require hospitalization. The woman's attorney told reporters that he was unaware of Maryland's medical marijuana law prior to taking the case, but nonetheless successfully argued in court that she should be covered by presenting medical studies showing that epilepsy can be controlled with cannabis.

    In the other case, the judge refused to allow a medical necessity defense or any mention of the patient's condition at trial, though the cannabis seized by police was clearly labeled "For Medicinal Use Only," and the man has written recommendations from two physicians, including to a gastro-intestinal specialist who noted that no other medication is effective. That medical evidence was allowed at a sentencing hearing, and ASA's Director of Government Affairs, Caren Woodson, also testified to his long-standing activism as a medical cannabis patient.

    "ASA is happy that patients and defense attorneys are able to get reduced sentences in Maryland," said Woodson. "But no one who uses cannabis in accordance with a physician's recommendation should be treated as a criminal by law enforcement or subjected to fines or any other penalties." Visit - http://www.safeaccessnow.org/article.php?id=280

    Maryland - Information The LAW - Informational link (INF) The Law. Maryland's legislature passed a medical marijuana affirmative defense law in 2003. This law requires the court to consider a defendant's use of medical marijuana to be a mitigating factor in marijuana-related state prosecution. If the patient, post-arrest, successfully makes the case at trial that his or her use of marijuana is one of medical necessity, then the maximum penalty allowed by law would be a $100 fine. Visit > http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=4542&wtm_view=medical < for more.

    Maryland - Information Info (ORG) Becoming A Patient. Since Maryland only provides an affirmative defense in court for medical marijuana patients, there is no real process for becoming a patient other than receiving a valid doctor's recommendation. Therefore, there is no registration fee, identification card, or list of eligible medical conditions provided. Additionally, Maryland's medical marijuana law does not state what is considered to be valid written documentation to prove eligibility, or how to find a physician to recommend medical marijuana.

    Maryland - Information News (INF) from MarijuanaNews.Com, where Freedom has nothing to fear from the truth. “Of course, as often as not, the police have such a strangle hold on the politicians that they still end up doing the wrong thing, or as in Maryland, a parody of the right thing. It would appear that Maryland is about to enact a “medical cannabis” bill, which demonstrates that the quality of mercy is not merely strained, it is severely herniated. Patients will be subject only to a fine of $100! Whoopdee do! The line for groveling starts on the right.

    I do not mean to belittle in any way the hard work of the people who managed to squeeze even this little blood from the stone hearts of the appalling people who govern us, but how can anyone vote for a fine for a sick person using a plant? If they really need the plant, that is cruel, and if they don’t need it, then why do anything? There is at least one good thing about the bill, however. The Drug Czar does not like it.” See more at: http://www.marijuananews.com/news.php3?sid=651.

    Maryland, History - Maryland Legislature Rebuffs Drug Czar, Passes Medical Marijuana Bill, Awaits Governor's Signature News (article) Maryland Legislature Rebuffs Drug Czar, Passes Medical Marijuana Bill, Awaits Governor's Signature - 3/28/03 - Ignoring a last-minute intervention by drug czar John Walters, the Maryland Senate voted 29-17 Wednesday to approve medical marijuana legislation. The Maryland House of Delegates passed a similar measure last week. Maryland thus becomes the second state to reform its medical marijuana laws through the legislative process. Hawaii did so in 2000.

    Maryland, History - NORML's Testimony on Medical Marijuana Legislation in Maryland (2002) Paul Armentano News (INF) NORML's Testimony on Medical Marijuana Legislation in Maryland (2002) Paul Armentano. Professionally, I have studied the science of marijuana and its compounds as therapeutic agents since 1995. I have done this both as NORML's research director and also as a research consultant for London's GW Pharmaceuticals - the only company legally licensed in the world to grow medical marijuana and perform human patient trials on various preparations of sublingual cannabis extracts. My professional research has led to me to reach the following conclusion: Marijuana is a medicine and patients who use it therapeutically must be legally protected.

    Medical Cannabis, History - Letter: Medical Marijuana Informational Guide on Medical Cannabis | If you have ever heard of the song, “Lets Go Get Stoned,” as sung by Ray Charles or Joe Cocker, you know the lyrics were referring to getting high or using cannabis aka marijuana. This mind altering drug goes by other names as well; names such as weed, pot, joint, blunt, hash and mary jane are quite common among users. Cannabis is a plant that contains a chemical called cannabinoids or cannabinolidic acids. Another substance that is found in cannabis is THC, or Tetrahydrocannabinol, which gives the users that “high” sensation. When speaking of marijuana, the actual substance used in creating the high feeling comes from the leaves and flowering tops of the cannabis plant. Marijuana is considered to be a schedule 1 controlled substance today, because of the THC, which can be highly potent, depending upon the concentration factor of the THC.

    Medical Cannabis - Proven : Cannabis is Safe Medicine Proven : Cannabis is Safe Medicine by Ian Williams Goddard | In reaction to medical cannabis access referendums on the ballots in Arizona and California, former presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and George Bush signed a letter stating that they "categorically oppose'' access to cannabis for its many proven therapeutic uses such as the prevention of blindness and epileptic seizures. Their chief concern was that legal medical access would send the message that cannabis is safe. The presidents can, however, lay their safety concerns to rest because the scientific literature overwhelmingly confirms that cannabis is both an effective and safe medicine. The Cannabis Safety Profile. The journal PHARMACOLOGICAL REVIEWS reports that decades of research prove that, "Compared with legal drugs...marijuana does not pose greater risks." Yet based upon mortality statistics, we can safely conclude that cannabis is one of the safest medical drugs known, for, while prescription drugs, defined as safe by the FDA, kill up to 27,000 and aspirin up to 1,000 Americans per year, cannabis kills 0 per year.

Pages : 268, Price : $48.95(USD) ISBN : 0597835675 Published : 2003

    Synopsis: In March 2001, the National Institutes of Health issued the following warning: "The number of Web sites offering health-related resources grows every day. Many sites provide valuable information, while others may have information that is unreliable or misleading."  Furthermore, because of the rapid increase in Internet-based information, many hours can be wasted searching, selecting, and printing. Since only the smallest fraction of information dealing with cannabis is indexed in search engines, such as www.google.com or others, a non-systematic approach to Internet research can be not only time consuming, but also incomplete. This book was created for medical professionals, students, and members of the general public who want to conduct medical research using the most advanced tools available and spending the least amount of time doing so.

    Description: This is a 3-in-1 reference book. It gives a complete medical dictionary covering hundreds of terms and expressions relating to cannabis. It also gives extensive lists of bibliographic citations.  Finally, it provides information to users on how to update their knowledge using various Internet resources. The book is designed for physicians, medical students preparing for Board examinations, medical researchers, and patients who want to become familiar with research dedicated to cannabis. If your time is valuable, this book is for you. First, you will not waste time searching the Internet while missing a lot of relevant information. Second, the book also saves you time indexing and defining entries. Finally, you will not waste time and money printing hundreds of web pages.

    Excerpt (Introduction). In addition to offering a structured and comprehensive bibliography, this medical reference on cannabis will quickly direct you to resources and reliable information on the Internet, from the essentials to the most advanced areas of research.  Public, academic, government, and peer-reviewed research studies are emphasized. Various abstracts are reproduced to give you some of the latest official information available to date. Abundant guidance is given on how to obtain free-of-charge primary research results via the Internet. E-book and electronic versions of this book are fully interactive with the Internet. For readers unfamiliar with the Internet, detailed instructions are offered on how to access electronic resources. For readers unfamiliar with medical terminology, a comprehensive glossary is provided. For readers without access to Internet resources, a directory of medical libraries, that have or can locate references cited here, is given. We hope these resources will prove useful to the widest possible audience seeking information on cannabis. visit: http://www.icongrouponline.com/health/Cannabis_ph.html

The time is NOW, but only if YOU HELP by contacting your legislators and lett them know how important these bills are to you, your health, your family and also to the state of Maryland!

I am a spinal cord injury patient who has been in constant chronic pain since 1992. I have waited 17 years to use this legally. Could you all PLEASE HELP me?

    Subject: DEA raids on MS patients in MD
    Date: Tue, 09 May 2006

    Hello Pot-TV,

    I am 21 and have lived in Maryland all my life. My mother was diagnosed with MS 30 years ago, she is currently 52. The whole time I have known my mother she has had MS, I've helped her with the battle the whole time. For a certain duration she could only be in a wheel chair, also MS has destroyed the optic nerve in her right eye leaving her blind. The doctors always put her on these poisen pills that put her way out in left field and they do alot of harm to her body. At one point my mother was on 10-8 meds and I was giving her injections of Avonex weekly. In the past 3-4 years my mother has been vaping and smoking medical cannabis. Pot-TV, I know and have seen the drastic turn around this plant can do for MS patients on a day to day bases. My mother is down to 2 pills now that she uses Medical cannabis. We can go out and do things like we were never able to do before my whole life of growing up. I am telling this all to you, Pot-TV, becasue in the past week a terrible event have taken place, that has put my mother MS in a terrible state.

    On May 2nd in Bel Air Maryland, 15 DEA agents broke into my mothers house while she was going to answer the door. No faces, balaclavas. Drawn guns. Purple laytex gloves. The first thing my mother does is falls back and she goes in the fetal position with her arms rapped around herself tightly. My mother was having a severe MS attack. They drag her up a flight of stairs to the kitchen where they lay her on the floor.

    They start drilling her with questions while she is having the attack "WHATS IN THE HOUSE?" All my mother could only just keep repeating is that she use Medical cannabis for her MS and tells them they will find some here. So they just leave her on the floor having the attack and start to tearing the house to apart. They take all here Medcical cannabis, glass art pipes and even some of here pharmaceutical meds. None of the DEA would have called an ambulace.

    But thank god my father showed he was out getting a hair cut and showed up about a half an hour after this all happened first thing my father did is say "has anyone called an ambulance for my wife?! She is having an MS attack!" My father is a registered nurse (RN). The DEA would not even let him pick the phone up to call, eventually after they thought he was telling the truth they called. After this event my mother now can only walk with cane, and she has full body tremors. I'm telling this all to you Pot-TV, because I don't know who else to tell. I think your the one in the state of Maryland that would understand our situation the most. But I want the whole world to know what the DEA has done to my mother just for using cannabis to take the edge off the MS sword.

    My mother is a Poet&Artist she does not deserve this. If you can help us please let us know, the day time phone (410)803-9469 is my mothers feel free to call it and talk to her I think it might make her feel alot better.

    Thanks for taking the time to listen, Pot-TV, I have the feeling deep down inside that you will pull through and that this case will be a stepping stone to the complete and total legalization of medical cannabis with providers and MMJ clubs in the State of Maryland, we will set an example for the whole east coast to follow.
