Hogan calls for disparity study on medical marijuana industry

ANNAPOLIS, Md. —Gov. Larry Hogan has called for a disparity study to examine Maryland’s regulated medical cannabis industry.

Hogan said the study will be overseen by the Governor’s Office of Minority Affairs and is in response to concerns expressed by the Legislative Black Caucus and shared by the administration regarding diversity in the emerging industry.

Such a study was proposed during the 2017 General Assembly session, but no bill was passed before the session ended earlier this month.
