ANNAPOLIS, Md. — The Maryland Office of the Comptroller today announced that the State of Maryland collected more than $18.4 million in cannabis sales tax revenue between April and June 2025, with the largest share of revenue generated in Maryland’s Central Region, which includes Baltimore City, as well as Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Carroll, Harford, and Howard counties.
Under state law, the Comptroller of Maryland is responsible for collecting sales and use tax revenue generated from the retail sale of adult-use cannabis in the state. Adult-use cannabis and cannabis products were previously taxed at a rate of 9%, which is reflected in the revenue collected April through June of 2025. Beginning July 1, 2025, the tax rate increased to 12%, in accordance with the Budget Reconciliation and Financing Act of 2025. The additional 3% will be allocated to Maryland’s General Fund and this change will be reflected in cannabis revenues shared in the next quarterly report covering July through September of 2025.
