General Information
As of July 1, 2023, you do not need a medical card to purchase cannabis in Maryland if you are 21 years or older. Recreational cannabis is now legal for adults, allowing them to buy up to 1.5 ounces of cannabis flower, 12 grams of concentrated cannabis, or products containing up to 750 milligrams of THC. However, having a medical card provides benefits such as access tax exemptions on purchases, whereas recreational cannabis will be subject to a 9 percent sales tax.
First, create an account with the Maryland Cannabis Administration (MCA). Then, obtain a written medical certification from a registered provider and complete the patient application on the MCA site, which includes uploading a photo, proof of residency, and the provider’s certification. Once approved, you will receive a patient ID number. Use that ID number to purchase medical marijuana from licensed dispensaries.
As of July 1, 2023, adults 21 and older can legally purchase cannabis seeds or clones in Maryland without needing to be a resident. However, it is illegal to transport any form of cannabis, including seeds and clones, across state lines. This restriction is due to federal law, which still prohibits interstate transport regardless of state-level legalization.
As a licensed dispensary, The Living Room accepts various forms of government-issued photo IDs for proof of age at the point of sale. Accepted IDs include a driver’s license, state ID card, passport or passport card, military ID, and tribal card, all of which must demonstrate that the individual is 21 years or older.
The Living Room is open seven days a week, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
According to state law, you must be 21 and older to enter The Living Room when purchasing adult-use, recreational cannabis. Minors are not allowed in our dispensary. As for pets, we ask that only trained service or emotional support animals on leashes are brought into the dispensary.
Yes! We accept debit cards, and, of course, cash!
Purchasing and Limits
In Maryland, adults 21 and older can legally purchase up to 1.5 ounces of cannabis flower, 12 grams of concentrated cannabis, or cannabis products containing up to 750 milligrams of THC per day. These limits apply to recreational consumers as per the regulations effective from July 1, 2023. For medical patients, the purchase limit is generally set at a 30-day supply, which is typically 120 grams of dried cannabis flower or 36 grams of THC in processed cannabis products. This limit can vary based on the certification from the patient’s healthcare provider.
Out-of-state visitors must follow the same limits on purchasing cannabis as Maryland residents (see above). However, they must consume it within the state’s borders as it is illegal to transport cannabis across state lines, even if both states have legalized marijuana.
Maryland law differentiates between “personal use” and “civil use” possession amounts for cannabis. Individuals 21 and over may legally possess the personal use amount of cannabis. Possession by individuals under 21 or possession of the civil use amount is subject to civil penalties.
“Personal Use” Possession Amounts:
- Up to 1.5 ounces of cannabis
- Up to 12 grams of concentrated cannabis
- Cannabis products containing up to 750 milligrams of delta-9-THC
- Up to 2 cannabis plants
Penalty: Fine up to $100
“Civil Use” Possession Amounts:
- More than 1.5 ounces but less than 2.5 ounces of cannabis
- More than 12 grams but less than 20 grams of concentrated cannabis
- Cannabis products containing more than 750 milligrams but less than 1,250 milligrams of delta-9-THC
Penalty: Fine up to $250
*Law enforcement issues citations for possession amounts classified as personal use or civil use. These citations are civil offenses, meaning they do not lead to arrest, jail time, or a criminal record. If a person under 21 receives a citation, the court will summon them for trial and may mandate drug treatment. Possession exceeding the civil use amounts constitutes a criminal misdemeanor.
While we do not share your information with any governing bodies, it is up to us to ensure you do not exceed the legal limit per day.
You can legally purchase up to 1.5 ounces of cannabis flower per day.

Choosing the right cannabis strain for your needs involves considering several factors, such as your desired effects, flavor preferences, and any specific health conditions. Here’s a guide to help you make an informed decision:
- Identify Your Goals: Determine what you want to achieve with cannabis use. Are you looking for relief from physical discomfort, relaxation of the mind and body, increased energy, or help with sleep? Different strains offer varying effects.
- Understand Strain Types:
- Indica: Typically provides a relaxing and sedative effect, making it suitable for nighttime consumption and for managing discomfort or insomnia.
- Sativa: Known for its uplifting and energizing effects, making it ideal for daytime use and for alleviating mental fog or fatigue.
- Hybrid: A mix of indica and sativa, hybrids can offer a balance of effects depending on the dominant strain.
- Consider THC and CBD Levels: THC is the psychoactive component that provides the “high,” while CBD is non-psychoactive and known for its therapeutic benefits. Strains with higher CBD and lower THC are often preferred for medical use to avoid intense psychoactive effects.
- Check Terpene Profiles: Terpenes are aromatic compounds that influence the flavor and aroma of the strain and can also affect its effects. For example, myrcene has relaxing properties, while limonene may elevate mood.
- Consult with a Budtender: The knowledgeable staff at The Living Room dispensary can help you choose the right strain based on your needs and preferences. We’re happy to provide recommendations and additional information about the available strains!
- Experiment and Adjust: It may take some trial and error to find the perfect strain. Start with small amounts and observe how each strain affects you, then adjust your choices accordingly.

Yes, all our cannabis products at The Living Room dispensary are lab-tested for quality and safety. Each product undergoes rigorous testing for potency, contaminants, and overall quality to provide you with safe and reliable cannabis options.
To maintain the freshness, store cannabis products in a cool, dark, and dry place. Use airtight containers, preferably glass jars, to protect the products from exposure to air and moisture. Keep the containers away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, as heat and light can degrade cannabinoids and terpenes, reducing potency and flavor. For edibles, follow the storage instructions on the packaging, often recommending refrigeration or freezing.
No, CBD (cannabidiol) will not get you high. Unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is the psychoactive compound in cannabis, CBD is non-psychoactive. This means it does not produce the euphoric or intoxicating effects associated with THC. CBD is commonly used for its potential therapeutic benefits, such as reducing mental and physical discomfort, and promoting relaxation, without causing a high.
Consumption and Safety
No, you cannot smoke in a dispensary. Smoking or consuming cannabis products on the premises of dispensaries is generally prohibited. This rule is in place to comply with public health and safety regulations and to maintain a comfortable environment for all customers.
In Maryland, you are allowed to consume cannabis in private residences. Public consumption, including smoking, vaping, or using edibles, is prohibited in places such as parks, sidewalks, streets, bars, restaurants, and inside vehicles.
Yes, you can have cannabis in your car, but it must be kept in a sealed container and stored out of reach of the driver and passengers, typically in the trunk. Consuming cannabis while driving or having an open container of cannabis in the vehicle is illegal and can result in legal consequences.
No, you cannot take cannabis products through airport security or travel out of state with them. Cannabis is illegal under federal law, and transporting it across state lines or through federal checkpoints, such as those in airports, is prohibited. Violating these regulations can result in severe legal penalties.
To keep marijuana away from children and pets, store all cannabis products in a secure, childproof container and place them in a locked cabinet or drawer. Make sure the storage area is out of reach and not easily accessible.
