The Baltimore Sun reports that Delegate Cheryl Glenn, the caucus' head, wants Gov. Larry Hogan to issue a one-day special session for the General Assembly to pass a law that would grant more medical cannabis growing licenses.
The legislation was introduced in this year's session due to a lack of diversity within the industry -- despite a state diversity law, none of the 15 companies granted preliminary licenses were minority owned, according the the group.
Glenn said the legislative failure left black lawmakers "feeling rejected, dejected and taken for granted" by Democrats in the General Assembly.

How is this legal? We can't have a all "White" group of anything.
get over it
We must have one of the most dysfunctional state houses in the country.
Let's just get the show on the road and those who feel shorted can gather more resources and be ready to jump on the wagon when the programs are expanded.
12:47 PM - it sounds right to me. No more delays.
Then as a supporter of the 2nd amendment, I want a special session called to pass pro-gun legislation / make MD a right to carry State / drop strict requirements to buy firearms. I have more so the right to demand this than a Legislator, since they work for me the tax payer / voter.
How about you get some dispensaries open FFS! All this political crap and patients in need still going without because the politicians can't decide who they want to run them.... figures this blue state can't pull its head out of its a$$ to help people. Just legalize it and get on with it!
Amen!!
