The Voice of the Maryland Cannabis Industry

The Maryland Wholesale Cannabis Trade Association (CANMD) is the leading cannabis advocacy organization representing cannabis growers and processors licensed in the State of Maryland. CANMD is committed to protecting and promoting public policy that prioritizes and fosters an accountable, consistent and innovative cannabis industry in Maryland. 

As a 501(c)6 trade association, we work to provide a legal, safe and thriving cannabis industry in Maryland, including both medical and adult-use.

With the support of our members, we work with legislators to develop comprehensive, commonsense policy that works for both the industry and consumers on the cultivation, processing, distribution and use of cannabis. 

We advocate for sensible regulation that provides appropriate safeguards to ensure all legal cannabis products are tested and free of contaminants. Our members are trusted by the State of Maryland to provide safe and regulated cannabis products, and all products developed by our members pass rigorous testing requirements to guarantee public health and safety.

We continuously educate the General Assembly, regulators, other state and local officials and the general public on the operations and benefits of the cannabis industry. CANMD is committed to providing resources to all, whether they are within the cannabis industry, looking to enter the industry, or interested in learning more about cannabis in our state.
