The Maryland Cannabis Administration (MCA) has issued a $10,000 fine to Baltimore41, LLC, which operates the Baltimore dispensary Storehouse, after an investigation found violations of the state’s seed-to-sale tracking and inventory requirements.
According to a Consent Order issued on November 26, 2025, the MCA determined that the dispensary failed to properly track cannabis inventory in the state’s Metrc system and neglected to conduct required monthly physical inventories between August and October 2024. The investigation was prompted by an inspection on October 29, 2024, which included a review of the dispensary’s point-of-sale system, Metrc entries, and video footage.
The MCA report highlighted the misconduct of a registered cannabis agent at Storehouse, identified only as W.C., who was employed as Assistant General Manager and Inventory Manager. Video evidence showed W.C. removing cannabis products from the dispensary and placing them in his personal backpack, while marking the products as “green waste” in Metrc. Specific incidents included the diversion of multiple containers of cannabis flower in August, September and October 2024.
Storehouse management reported that they were unaware of the employee’s actions until the MCA investigator requested the video footage. Following the discovery, W.C.’s employment was terminated on October 15, 2024, and local law enforcement was notified, resulting in criminal charges against the individual.
The Consent Order cited multiple violations of COMAR regulations, including failures to:
- Track cannabis inventory accurately in the seed-to-sale system;
- Conduct monthly physical inventories; and
- Follow established Standard Operating Procedures for inventory control.
The MCA noted that Baltimore41, LLC cooperated fully with investigators, took immediate steps to prevent future violations, and implemented monthly inventory audits.
The Consent Order makes clear that failure to comply could result in further enforcement actions, including suspension of the dispensary’s license. The order is public record under Maryland law.
