Maryland’s Top Federal Prosecutor Will Not Go After Medical Marijuana Growers

January 23rd, 2018 by WCBC Radio

The acting U.S. Attorney for Maryland Steve Schenning has decided he will not go after those involved in the Maryland medical marijuana industry.  U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has directed federal prosecutors to decide for themselves whether or not they enforce federal marijuana laws in Maryland where medical marijuana is legal. Dispensaries have been opening the last few weeks. Schenning told The Daily Record medical marijuana is lawful in Maryland and he does not plan on bringing anti-drug charges against medical marijuana growers. However, Schenning will charge people with those federal laws if they are also charged with serious crimes like murder.
