Short answer

What ID Do You Need as a Non-Resident?

As a non-Maryland resident, you need a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID to purchase recreational cannabis. This is the same requirement for Maryland residents. No medical card is needed for recreational purchases.

ID TypeAccepted?Notes
State driver's license (any U.S. state)YesMust be unexpired and show your date of birth.
State-issued ID card (non-driver)YesMust be unexpired and government-issued.
U.S. passport or passport cardYesValid as long as it's unexpired.
Military IDYesMust be current and include your photo and DOB.
Temporary or paper IDNoNot accepted by Maryland dispensaries—bring your physical card.
Expired IDNoMust be valid on the date of purchase.
Foreign government-issued ID (non-U.S.)VariesCheck with the dispensary before visiting; a passport is safest.

If you're visiting from out of state and your ID is expired or you only have a temporary paper ID, you won't be able to purchase at Remedy. Plan ahead to bring an acceptable form of ID.

Can Out-of-State Visitors Buy Cannabis in Maryland?

Yes. Maryland allows out-of-state visitors aged 21 and older to purchase recreational cannabis without a medical card. You don't need to be a Maryland resident or have an MMCC (Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission) card—recreational sales are open to anyone with valid ID.

This makes Maryland a convenient stop for tourists and travelers from nearby states like Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, as well as visitors from farther away. Whether you're staying in Baltimore, Columbia, or just passing through Windsor Mill, you can walk into a licensed dispensary like Remedy and buy legal cannabis.

The Maryland Cannabis Administration regulates all recreational sales, ensuring that dispensaries follow strict rules on ID verification and purchase limits. As long as you're 21+ and have valid ID, you're good to go.

Purchase Limits for Out-of-State Visitors

Out-of-state visitors face the same purchase limits as Maryland residents. You can buy up to the daily maximum, but you cannot exceed these amounts in a single transaction.

Product TypeDaily LimitNotes
Flower1.5 ounces (42.5 grams)Includes all forms of raw cannabis flower.
Concentrates12 gramsIncludes wax, shatter, oils, and other extracts.
Edibles750 mg THCTotal THC content across all edible products.

These limits are per person, per day. If you're visiting with friends, each person can purchase their own allotment. At Remedy, our team will help you stay within legal limits and answer any questions about amounts.
