AI Summary
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment that would establish in Maryland that, subject to certain exceptions, individuals 21 years and older may use, possess up to 1 ounce of, cultivate up to 6 plants of, and share up to 5 grams of cannabis without penalty under state law. The bill also requires the General Assembly and Comptroller to regulate the commercial production and distribution of cannabis, including testing, labeling, and licensing requirements.

The revenues generated from the taxation of cannabis sales would be used for purposes such as public school construction and education, substance abuse treatment, and mental health services.
