Interested in the current state of legalization for medical cannabis, both in Maryland and across the country? Check out the following resources for real time news and information.
NORML
“The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana is a non-profit organization based in Washington, D.C., that advocates for the reform of marijuana laws in the United States regarding both medical and non-medical use. According to their website, NORML supports “the removal of all penalties for the private possession and responsible use of marijuana by adults, including cultivation for personal use, and casual nonprofit transfers of small amounts” and advocates for “the creation of a legal and regulatory framework for marijuana’s production and retail sale to adults”. NORML also has a sister organization, NORML Foundation, that focuses on educational efforts and providing legal assistance and support to people affected negatively by current marijuana laws.” [cited from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Organization_for_the_Reform_of_Marijuana_Laws]

Marijuana Policy Project
The Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) is the number one organization in the U.S. legalizing cannabis. They have passed 13 medical cannabis laws in the past 15 years, and they ran winning campaigns in eight of the 11 legalization states. No organization in the movement has changed as many cannabis laws, impacted as many patients and consumers, created as many new markets, or done more to end cannabis prohibition in the U.S. than MPP.
