Concentrates now available for Adult-Use!

Heads up, Maryland! The Maryland Cannabis Administration, or MCA, recently released updated guidelines for adult-use cannabis consumption.   Under these new guidelines, adult-use consumers can now purchase concentrates and infused non-edible products, including infused pre-rolls! Here’s what you need to know:

 

As of June 7, 2024, adult-use consumers may purchase

• Cannabis vaporizing devices (e.g., vapes)
• Concentrated cannabis products with a total weight of 1 gram or less
• Infused pre-rolls of any product weight
• Infused non-edible cannabis products
• Home cultivation products
• Usable cannabis products (e.g., flower, pre-rolls)
• Edible cannabis products, capsules, and tinctures containing up to 10mg THC per serving or 100mg THC per package

 

Check out the official regulation update from the MCA here.

Please note that a daily allotment is still in place for adult-use consumers.

Adult use consumers aged 21 years or older may possess up to 1.5 ounces of cannabis flower, up to 12 grams of concentrated cannabis, or a total amount of cannabis products that does not exceed 750 mg of THC. This is known as the “personal use amount.”

How does Cannabis work?

The human body is equipped with an endocannabinoid system (ECS), a series of cellular receptors that react to imbalances within the body and work to establish stability, or homeostasis. The system consists of two receptors, CB1 and CB2. CB1 receptors are primarily located in the brain, central nervous system, and spine. They are responsible for modulating pain sensations. CB2 receptors are primarily located in the immune system and they support anti-inflammatory function. The body naturally produces endocannabinoids which bind to these receptors to help establish stability where needed. Cannabinoids, such as THC and CBD, perform a similar function. As such, scientists believe cannabinoids can play an important role in regulating the endocannabinoid system and maintaining stability in the body.

Cannabis Use Guidelines

Different products like flower, edibles, and concentrates require different tools, have varying effects, and require specific precautions. Flower provides immediate effects via vaporization or smoking and can last up to 3 hours. Edibles are more powerful and last for longer periods of time, so start at low doses and gradually increase after allowing up to 6 hours to feel the results. Concentrates are highly potent in small quantities.
