The University of Maryland in 2019 announced that its pharmacy school will be offering a graduate degree in medical cannabis. This move by the university came as a turnaround from its stance 2 years before when the program was proposed. Many believe the change by the university at that time was due to interference by the Attorney General of the state at that time. The school offers a Master of Science in Medical cannabis science and therapeutics. Students of the program will be taught how to treat patients with holistic medical marijuana methods. They will also be equipped with the right knowledge to make them capable to participate in marijuana research.
