According to Weedmaps, yes! Cannabidiol (CBD) oil is legal. In many ways, CBD laws in Maryland predate many of the most important provisions of the 2018 Farm Bill, which effectively legalized the production of hemp plants and hemp-derived products. Most notably, in 2015, state lawmakers passed a measure that established a legal difference between marijuana plants, which contain more than 0.3% THC, and “industrial hemp” plants, which contain only trace amounts of THC and can legally be grown, harvested, processed, and sold in Maryland. Importantly, this distinction opened the door to legally selling and buying CBD and CBD products derived from low-THC hemp plants before the 2018 Farm Bill was passed.
With this critical distinction in place, Maryland has established itself as a relatively friendly state for CBD and CBD oil. We like Maryland :)
Maryland CBD Laws
State laws regarding CBD oil in Maryland align with federal laws established under the 2018 Farm Bill.
In 2015, state lawmakers passed HB 803, which laid out an important new definition of “industrial hemp,” in contrast to “marijuana,” which this law defined as plants containing more than 0.3% THC by weight. HB 803 defined “industrial hemp” as plants with less than 0.3% THC by weight.
HB 803 also made it legal to grow, possess, sell, or buy industrial hemp in the state. Another important provision of HB 803 is that it also legalized also any part of the hemp plant, including CBD. As per this law, a person must register with the state before legally planting, growing, harvesting, or processing industrial hemp plants or any products from these plants.
Following HB 803, Maryland lawmakers passed H B 443 in 2016. This bill broadened the legal cultivation and production of hemp plants by allowing educational institutions to grow plants for research purposes. This law was later expanded in 2018 with H B 698, which allowed industrial hemp grown or cultivated under the state's hemp program to be sold, distributed, transported, marketed, and processed both in the state or outside of the state.
In Maryland, it is currently legal to purchase, possess, and consume CBD and CBD products as long as they are derived from plants that meet the legal definition of industrial hemp. Medical marijuana is legal for Maryland residents and non-residents who have a qualifying medical condition and register in Maryland's medical marijuana program. These patients are allowed to purchase, possess, and consume products that contain both CBD and THC.
Maryland CBD Possession Limits?
There are currently no limits to how much CBD a person can purchase, possess, or consume as long as the product is derived from an industrial hemp plant in the State pf Maryland.
For registered medical marijuana patients, there is also no limit specific to CBD. Instead, patients with a medical marijuana card are limited to 120 grams, or 4 ounces, of medical cannabis; or 36 grams, or 1.3 ounces, of concentrates in any 30-day period unless a doctor recommends more, in which case the state may increase an individual patient's limits.
