BALTIMORE — The Maryland House of Delegates approved legislation Friday that would allow voters to decide in November whether to legalize recreational marijuana use for people 21 and older.
The measure, which has not yet been considered by the Senate, authorizes a state constitutional amendment that would appear on the ballot for the general election. If approved, the regulatory details, such as how to tax sales, would be decided by the General Assembly and take effect in July 2023.
Friday’s vote in the Democratic-controlled House was 96-34.
