Questions
Maryland Dispensary ID Requirements for Out-of-State Visitors
Yes, out-of-state visitors can buy recreational cannabis in Maryland with a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID (like a driver's license). No medical card is needed. At Remedy, we'll check your ID at the door and again at checkout, then you can shop within state purchase limits.
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 Type | Accepted? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| State driver's license (any U.S. state) | Yes | Must be unexpired and show your date of birth. |
| State-issued ID card (non-driver) | Yes | Must be unexpired and government-issued. |
| U.S. passport or passport card | Yes | Valid as long as it's unexpired. |
| Military ID | Yes | Must be current and include your photo and DOB. |
| Temporary or paper ID | No | Not accepted by Maryland dispensaries—bring your physical card. |
| Expired ID | No | Must be valid on the date of purchase. |
| Foreign government-issued ID (non-U.S.) | Varies | Check 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 Type | Daily Limit | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Flower | 1.5 ounces (42.5 grams) | Includes all forms of raw cannabis flower. |
| Concentrates | 12 grams | Includes wax, shatter, oils, and other extracts. |
| Edibles | 750 mg THC | Total THC content across all edible products. |
| Other products (tinctures, topicals, etc.) | Varies | Limits apply based on THC content; ask staff for details. |
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.
