Del. Dan Morhaim, advocate of medical marijuana, draws scrutiny for role in firm

A state lawmaker who has been a leading advocate of Maryland's medical marijuana law said Wednesday he wished he had been more transparent about his business connection to the cannabis industry.

Del. Dan Morhaim, a Baltimore County Democrat, has drawn scrutiny for publicly telling the state's medical cannabis commission how to set up the industry at the same time he agreed to work as a clinical director for a private company seeking a highly coveted license.

Morhaim, who is a physician, sponsored legislation passed by the General Assembly that legalized and helped form the industry.

"In hindsight," Morhaim told The Baltimore Sun on Wednesday, he should have disclosed the extent of his relationship with Doctor's Orders LLC, "if I knew a better way to do it."

Somebody could have given you some advice, if you'd asked.

Total BS. He thinks people are already stoned if he expects anyone to buy that lie.

More of O'Malley's legacy.

Here's how to do it, doc: "I'm introducing legislation to make weed the state flower, and if it's approved I'll take a lucrative part-time job with one of the awarded license holders."

Someone should file an ethics complaint with the legislature and with the state medical board.

Guess he was just 'extremely careless.'
