n Maryland, physicians do not prescribe medical cannabis. They recommend it. The formulation and dosage of medicine is determined by you and the dispensary. That’s why it’s important to work only with a dispensary where your medicine is selected by a licensed pharmacist or nurse.

Less than 300 Maryland doctors are registered at this time. Ask your personal physician first. If your doctor is unable to help, call us at 301-662-2222 or toll-free at 1-866- 696-3370 and we will suggest a registered doctor in your area.

Medical cannabis is grown under strict regulations with Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission oversight, whose standards are among the highest in the country.

There are more of than 82 possible active ingredients in medical cannabis, known as cannabinoids. Different strains produced under different growing conditions can vary in concentration of these cannabinoids. Therefore, the State independently lab tests every batch to prevent objectionable impurities.

On the other hand, illicit marijuana is typically grown without oversight and is illegal in Maryland. It is also not grown under laboratory conditions or tested to ensure undesirable purities are not present.

Medical cannabis’ cannabinoid content is modified to treat different symptoms. In fact, different patients with the same symptom often require different combinations. Generally, medical cannabis is formulated to deemphasize any hallucinogenic effect.

Your first meeting will include a free medical consultation, during which the medicine and dosage will be determined between you and a trained medical professional.
