Description


Cannabis became a target for prohibition in the U.S. in the early 1900s and banned nationwide by the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. Maryland rolled back those prohibitions, first for medical use in 2017 and for recreational in 2023. How has Baltimore figured in these changes? What does the cannabis industry in Baltimore look like today? Join Dr. Kate for this video tour of the processors, packagers, and dispensers in the city, and the differences legalization has made for Baltimoreans.
