A Washington County Circuit Court judge has granted a preliminary injunction that will give the greenlight for some Maryland hemp businesses to reopen.
Following the recreational legalization of cannabis beginning on July 1, many hemp businesses were forced to close. Per laws passed during the 2023 Legislative Session, businesses without a state license were unable to operate and sell products that were over the cap of THC content.
The underlying lawsuit remains unresolved. Additional regulations are expected to be addressed during the 2024 Legislative Session.
Nemphos Braue attorneys and our colleagues at Old Line Government Affairs continue to monitor the changing cannabis landscape closely in order to assist businesses in and related to this highly regulated industry.
