About Explore Maryland Cannabis
We connect Maryland’s cannabis ecosystem through community-first workforce education, events, and partnerships.
Our Mission
Explore Maryland Cannabis (EMC) exists to make cannabis education accessible, community-centered, and connected to real opportunity.
We bring people together across the ecosystem — from curious community members to industry professionals — with programming that supports career growth, entrepreneurship, and informed participation in Maryland’s cannabis landscape.
Workforce Pathway
We help Marylanders explore cannabis careers and build job-ready confidence through guidance, free resources, and workforce-focused events.
Events & Community Experiences
From bonfires to game nights to workshops, we host welcoming gatherings that make it easy to meet people, learn something useful, and stay plugged in.
Employer & Community Partnerships
We collaborate with employers, educators, and community organizations to create compliant, meaningful opportunities — including field trips, guest teaching, hiring connections, and sponsored experiences.
Our Story
Explore Maryland Cannabis was founded to change the stigma around cannabis through education and connection — and to make sure the people most impacted by outdated narratives have access to opportunity in the new industry.
Today, EMC continues that mission by building bridges across the ecosystem and creating spaces where learning feels approachable, community feels real, and the next step is clear.
