Maryland’s medical marijuana commission approved 102 dispensaries for preliminary licenses Monday.
The dispensaries were selected from a pool of 811 applications submitted to the Natalie M. LaPrade Medical Cannabis Commission. According to state regulations, the commission is able to approve two dispensaries for each of the state’s 47 senatorial districts.
The recommendations — which included two dispensaries for all but two senatorial districts — were made by the dispensary evaluation subcommittee. The committee also pre-approved 10 dispensary licenses for some of the growers and processors who were approved for those licenses earlier this year.
