Senator Carter’s SB 692 would end prohibition in Maryland and replace it with a system to tax and regulate cannabis for adults 21 and older. In addition to legalizing possession and home cultivation of cannabis for adults, it would vacate past cannabis convictions and distribute the bulk of tax revenue from legal sales to fund community-based initiatives that serve communities disproportionately impacted by cannabis prohibition and enforcement.
