Maryland Senate Passes Medical Marijuana Bill

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — The Maryland Senate has passed a measure that aims to create opportunities for minority business owners to become licensed medical marijuana growers and processors.
The measure passed the Senate with a vote of 42-3 on Wednesday. It would increase the number of licenses for medical marijuana growers from 15 to as many as 22. No black-owned companies in Maryland currently have these licenses. Two of the licenses would go to growers that narrowly missed getting licenses
