Maryland allows for medicinal use for ‘debilitating conditions’. This is a list of what may qualify you:
"A chronic or debilitating disease or medical condition that results in a patient being admitted into hospice or receiving palliative care; or
A chronic or debilitating disease or medical condition or the treatment of a chronic or debilitating disease or medical condition that produces: Cachexia, anorexia, wasting syndrome, severe or chronic pain, severe nausea, seizures or persistent muscle spasms."
One of the biggest barriers may be finding a doctor to recommend it to you in the first place, according to my research.
Here is a link to your state’s laws:

So, here is the trick, I do not believe you are able to purchase marijuana at this point. If I understand correctly, it will take at least until 2017 before there will be retailers who make it available.
I hope this helps!
