“The start of adult use sales in Maryland is a truly momentous occasion for our customers and for the industry as a whole. We continue to see some states taking immediate action on ballot initiatives across the country and working diligently to put a framework together to build a broader, safer and more inclusive cannabis marketplace with the introduction of adult use sales. This swift action, and inclusion of existing operators who understand the landscape, shows a commitment from state leaders to help connect the power of the cannabis plant to those who need and want it,” said Jesse Channon, Chief Growth Officer, Columbia Care. “We are proud to be a part of the initial adult use framework and look forward to continuing to serve the medical community as we have for years.”

In addition to its three active retail locations, Columbia Care operates more than 50,000 square feet of cultivation and production space in the state and has one additional retail location under development in Prince George’s County. Columbia Care brands that are now available in Maryland include Amber, Classix, gLeaf, Hedy, and Triple Seven. The Company has hired additional staff members to help serve the influx of new customers and ensure that existing medical program customers receive the same access and support they previously received.
