Im sorry Flyguy but you dont really have medical marijuana laws in Maryland.

Maryland's legislature passed a medical marijuana affirmative defense law in 2003. This law requires the court to consider a defendant's use of medical marijuana to be a mitigating factor in marijuana-related state prosecution. If the patient, post-arrest, successfully makes the case at trial that his or her use of marijuana is one of medical necessity, then the maximum penalty allowed by law would be a $100 fine.

Basicaly if you can get a docotr to say that marijuana helps you then you would only have to pay $100 at worst, but your still gonig to lose your medicine and pay some type of fine and chances are you'll get a recored from it.
