Cannabis - Sale and Distribution - Tetrahydrocannabinol Offenses

SB 214 updates Maryland’s cannabis regulations by setting clear THC limits for sale and distribution. It prohibits selling or distributing products containing tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) above 0.5 milligrams per serving or 2.5 milligrams per package unless licensed and meeting manufacturing, testing, and labeling standards. The bill makes displaying or offering THC products for sale prima facie evidence of selling them, and authorizes enforcement officers to issue citations and seize unlawful products. These changes directly affect licensed cannabis businesses, distributors, and enforcement staff under the Alcohol, Tobacco, and Cannabis Commission.
