Recommendations

The provider-patient relationship is the cornerstone of the Maryland program and serves to allow patients access to relief through medical cannabis. Approved practitioners can recommend patients for medical cannabis, a process that begins by registering with the state’s medical cannabis commission. In Maryland, licensed providers can include physicians, dentists, midwives, nurse practitioners, and podiatrists.

A legal distinction for practitioners to note is that they are not “prescribing” medical cannabis as it is still a Schedule I substance at the federal level. Rather, the distinction is that through the state’s system, approved practitioners may “recommend” medical cannabis.
