Maryland collected approximately $28.7 million in cannabis sales tax revenue from April through June 2026, according to figures released Tuesday by the Office of the Comptroller.
The Central region generated the most revenue at approximately $12.2 million. That region includes Baltimore City and Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Carroll, Harford and Howard counties.
The Capital region, which includes Montgomery, Prince George’s and Frederick counties, generated approximately $6.3 million. Western Maryland, consisting of Allegany, Garrett and Washington counties, generated about $5.1 million. The Eastern region, consisting of Caroline, Cecil, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne’s, Somerset, Talbot, Wicomico and Worcester counties, generated approximately $3.4 million, while the Southern region, made up of Calvert, Charles and St. Mary’s counties, generated about $1.7 million. The Comptroller uses these five regions in its quarterly cannabis tax reporting.
Maryland currently imposes a 12% sales and use tax on retail sales of adult-use cannabis and cannabis products. The rate increased from 9% to 12% on July 1, 2025, with the additional three percentage points directed to the state’s General Fund before other allocations are made.
Revenue from the latest quarter is being distributed among several state and local programs. Approximately $5.7 million will go to the Community Reinvestment and Repair Fund, which supports community-based initiatives in areas disproportionately affected by enforcement of cannabis prohibition. About $2.7 million each will go to the Maryland Cannabis Administration and Maryland Department of Social and Economic Mobility.
