ANNAPOLIS, MD — A bill that would expand Maryland's medical cannabis industry to include more minority ownership, after more than a month in legislative limbo, is moving again in the General Assembly, with amendments.
A House panel on Tuesday approved amendments to a bill sponsored by Delegate Cheryl Glenn, D-Baltimore, that would include more funding for the state's medical cannabis commission, and update the number of members, among other changes.

The subcommittee on Tuesday voted 6-2 to advance the legislation with amendments. It is expected to go to a vote in the House Health & Government Operations Committee on Friday.
Subcommittee chair Samuel Rosenberg, D-Baltimore, made clear discussion about the legislation would continue.
"This is not the last time in this 90-day session that we will be dealing with this issue and this legislation," Rosenberg said.
