Design Maryland’s Cannabis Ecosystem

What if you could help design a more accessible, connected cannabis ecosystem for Maryland?

Explore Maryland Cannabis is bringing residents, workers, founders, community organizations, and industry partners together for an interactive evening of conversation, creativity, and community connection.

This is not another panel. You won’t spend the evening sitting and listening to people speak at you.

Through EMC’s Collaborative Community Design Lab, attendees will use community suggestions to map:

• Where people currently connect with Maryland’s cannabis ecosystem
• Where confusion, stigma, cost, and missing information create barriers
• Where education, career, business, and community resources are needed

You’ll have opportunities to share your experience, hear different perspectives, meet people across the ecosystem, and help select the community’s highest priorities.

No cannabis industry or design experience is required. Whether you are canna-curious, pursuing a career, building a business, working in the industry, or supporting Maryland communities, your perspective belongs in the room.

Who should attend?

• Maryland residents and canna-curious community members
• Job seekers and current cannabis employees
• Small-business owners and founders
• Community, workforce, and educational organizations
• Cannabis operators and ancillary businesses
• Anyone who wants Maryland’s cannabis ecosystem to be more accessible and connected

Come ready to connect, contribute, and help design what Maryland’s cannabis ecosystem could become.
