Maryland’s Cannabis has Been the Subject of Massive Controversy After Growth between 2019-2020

Maryland’s cannabis industry has shown skyrocketing demands by the customers, which is enough proof of the fact that manufacturers have earned abnormal profits. However, because cannabis is a hot product of the black markets as well, this plant has remained in the news for all the wrong reasons as well. Luckily, the marijuana industry has still managed to be at the top of the game amidst COVID 19. Last year when the industry witnessed a massive growth of around 50%, the manufacturers thought it would be tough for this cash crop to remain stagnant in the market next year.

Luckily, marijuana consumers have remained loyal with the herb, which is why this crop hasn’t received a backlash from the global pandemic. Traditionally, people in Maryland were only exposed to smoking marijuana. Today, there are a plethora of ways to enjoy this herb. Especially now that it stands concrete with several proven health benefits, it is hard to wipe it out from the market.

The growing popularity of marijuana in Maryland is a major concern for the state authorities because a large part of the teen population is active consumers of this plant.

Today marijuana is consumed in the form of foods, beverages, snacks, desserts, and skincare products. The rise in the consumer market for marijuana has boosted this industry to a great extent. Right now, marijuana is considered a cash crop across the globe, which is why many entrepreneurs have joined the bandwagon to cultivate this plant.

The amount of people in hospital psych units, being admitted to in patient mental health facilities, and seeing psychiatrists, therapists for marijuana induced psychosis is astounding. Most are where they are due to acting out in violent and other anti social ways. This is not the pot of yesteryears.

The black market is typically Mexican dirt weed. Life is too short for cheap pot.

Maybe they should treat the real issues instead of masking them with marijuana. It's just any other drug like alcohol and heroin

12:57 got to have something to blame and label. It isn't the pot! Misdiagnosis and untruthful patient.

It is not the pot of yesteryear by any means. I has been hybridized to the point it's not an innocent natural product anymore. I gave it up years ago when the drama to acquire it and the people you had to associate with just became too exhausting. I have aging friends that are still on board and have seen real turns in their general well being and psyche. Something that once made them tolerable people has made them a mess and at an advanced age with other prescriptions and unknown interactions it's nothing to be taken lightly.
Legal or not prescribed or not it is still considered and scheduled controlled substance that can cost you your job and security clearance.

did someone really compare pot to heroin?? is this 1950? you obviously don't use marijuana, lol! and correct, it's not the stem filled, seedy bag of weed of days gone by - it's more pure and wonderful. If you get some kind of psychosis, you didn't use marijuana, greens maybe?
