Maryland's medical marijuana consumers can purchase cannabis flower, tinctures, and pre-rolls, and soon they’ll be able to buy edibles. Since flower was one of the only options for so long, it’s lucky Maryland's weed strain selection is plentiful.
Marijuana cultivators in Maryland depended largely on out-of-state seeds and plants to get their growing operations started, which is why a lot of Maryland weed strains are well-established cultivars, or strains, found in bustling cannabis markets like California, Colorado, and Washington. For the best that Maryland has to offer, flower enthusiasts can turn to these beloved Maryland weed strains for a connoisseur-grade experience.

Sour Diesel
Sour Diesel and its variants like Sour Diesel #5 or #7 are a staple in Maryland dispensaries including Maggie's, Remedy Columbia, and Green Point Wellness dispensaries.
