The bill regulating Maryland’s recreational cannabis industry is currently being considered by the state legislature with HB 556 / SB 516

Maryland should raise the tax rate to 15% and increasing the annual percentage of tax revenue going to the Cannabis Repair and Reinvestment Fund from 30% to 60%. The will ensure that more money is allocated to repair the harm done by the “War on Drugs”.
