The Maryland Wholesale Medical Cannabis Trade Association (CANMD) represents licensed medical cannabis growers and processors in Maryland. We strive to be a resource in Maryland for both patients and providers on the benefits of this medicine, the processes for registration and certification and new scientific research and breakthroughs.
Equally as important to our Members is the protection and promotion of public policy that prioritizes patient access and fosters an accountable, consistent and innovative medical cannabis industry in Maryland.
