Summary

The Maryland Cannabis Administration issued administrative charges on August 20, 2025 to Green Leaf Medical, LLC, which trades as The Cannabist Company and holds grow and processor licences in Frederick, Maryland. A consent order followed, signed around December 2, 2025, with a single consolidated fine of $33,000 paid to the Compassionate Use Fund (case 24-00477).
