Cannabis Policies and Resources
Adult-use cannabis became legal in Maryland on July 1, 2023. Despite the new state law, cannabis remains a Schedule 1 drug under federal law. As a result, institutions of higher education receiving federal funds must continue to prohibit the use, possession, and distribution of cannabis on campus and at campus-sponsored events and activities off campus.
The resources on this page are designed to provide information and tools to help schools remain compliant with federal law.
