Cannabis – On–Site Consumption Establishments and Cannabis Events

HB 132 regulates on-site cannabis consumption establishments and events in Maryland. It limits new on-site consumption license applications to social equity applicants under specific circumstances, allows local governments to set operating hours for these businesses, and authorizes license holders to repackage cannabis into single-serving products (like cannabinoid beverages) under defined rules. The bill also creates new requirements for cannabis events, including vendor permits, while permitting local governments to restrict or prohibit events with certain limitations. These changes affect cannabis businesses seeking on-site licenses, local zoning authorities, and event organizers operating under the new framework.
