"The State of Marijuana Laws" Updated—Maryland and Missouri Pass Recreational Use in Professional Liability Insurance
Recently, state legislation was approved making recreational use of marijuana
legal in Maryland (effective on July 1, 2023) and Missouri (effective on
December 8, 2022). Federal law continues to classify marijuana as an illegal,

marijuana, and 21 states and Washington, DC, approved the recreational use of
marijuana. These conflicting state laws lead to additional complexity as to
their impact on the workplace. See five key
points to consider, links to state laws, and an updated map displaying the
