Maryland Growers Increase Flower Production to Meet Rising Patient Demand

It may have been a slow start, but it has been an honor to watch Maryland’s medical marijuana industry bloom. The industry’s analysts originally predicted Maryland’s marijuana market would gross $60 million in sales in three years, however, sales easily soured to $96 million. Mary and Main is more than grateful to be a part of the medical marijuana community, offering patients an alternative to opiates and addiction. As our medical marijuana dispensary celebrates our one year anniversary, we are also reflecting on how Maryland has grown in the industry. With over 70,000 patients in Maryland, making up more than 1% of the state, it’s no wonder Maryland growers need to increase flower production to meet demands. 

Increase in Maryland Medical Marijuana Patients

The Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission was taken back this past spring as over 1,200 patients inquired per day, on top of 300 applicants applying for their medical marijuana card. The state is focusing on combing through common issues and problems as the industry continues to flourish. Growers have no option but to expand to continue to meet demand for patient’s needs.
