About Montgomery County

Montgomery County has 20 licensed dispensaries, second only to Baltimore County, and they cluster along the I-270 and Red Line corridor: five in Rockville, four in Silver Spring, then Bethesda, Germantown, Gaithersburg and Olney. Several of the county's shops are long-running medical operators that converted to adult-use in 2023, so their staff have been doing this far longer than legalisation suggests. Montgomery sits on the DC line, and DC's own market runs under different rules — anything you buy here stays under Maryland law until you cross back.

If you qualify, a Maryland medical card skips the 12% cannabis tax.How it works →
