Maryland dispensaries prep for reefer rush on July 1
FOX 5’s Nana-Sentuo Bonsu spoke to a couple of cannabis dispensary owners in Maryland who are getting ready to serve more customers due to the state’s new recreational laws.
MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. – It’s the last day patients can have dispensaries exclusively to themselves.
“I showed up in the last five minutes before they closed to get my preorder,” said one man, medical marijuana card in tow.
He realizes that once the doors at Remedy Maryland in Columbia open tomorrow things will be different forever.
“I know that there will be a line tomorrow especially being the first day,” he adds.
Mitch Trellis is the co-owner of Remedy. He says the turnout Saturday morning will be huge.
“A couple thousand. It’s going to be wild,” Trellis said.
Trellis is expecting a couple of thousand people to step in to purchase cannabis now that it’s legal in the state of Maryland for recreational use.
Trellis says they are prepared for the crowd and longer wait times.
“It’s not like we are introducing something brand new. We are just opening something that has existed for a long time,” he explained.
For the past five years, marijuana was available for medical use for about 168,000 patients in Maryland.
Starting Saturday, about 4 million adults are eligible to shop at a dispensary.
“We’ve been preparing for July 1 since probably March 1,” said Rebecca Raphael. She’s the chief revenue officer with Curio Wellness.
“It’s about increasing the access,” Raphael said. “We expect there will be early adopters that will come out this weekend because for whatever reason they didn’t feel comfortable getting a medical card and they no longer have that barrier to entry.”
For first-timers, doctors have some advice.
“Try to go for the lowest concentration that you can find, so you know how your body can tolerate and manage that,” said Dr. Aliya Jones with Luminis Health.
While many are looking forward to July 1 – some are weary.
“We had to go through the legal loopholes of having to order it, losing our gun rights. A lot of different barriers. We want to have the same access that we’ve been had with medical cannabis with the discount, pricing, and bulk sales,” said Demetrius Hunt.
Recreational marijuana legal in Maryland starting tomorrow

He’s with an organization that is against the legalization of marijuana.
The manager at Remedy says patients will still be prioritized.
It’s a little too early to tell what the financial impact will be, but patients can expect a slight increase.
Patients like Hunt will not have to pay the 9% sales taxes.
Marylanders will also be able to grow up to two marijuana plants for personal use and be in possession of up to 1.5 ounces.

Five must-reads before kickoff:
* Michigan State lost two members of its secondary, Dillon Tatum and Khalil Majeed, to long-term injuries in its season opener. The team is turning to some new faces to fill in the holes from those injuries.
* Alex VanSumeren was once Michigan State’s top-rated recruit, but he’s been seldom seen on the field due to injuries. Now, though, he’s healthy and making his mark on the Spartans’ defensive line.
* Aidan Chiles’ 10-completion, two-interception performance in Michigan State’s season-opener was his “floor,” according to offensive coordinator Brian Lindgren, who has a plan to improve the quarterback’s performance going forward.
* Jonathan Smith had a name for Week 1 in college football: overreaction Saturday. He’s cautioning fans not to put too much stock into an opening performance that likely underwhelmed many.
* The run game and discipline are two of Matt Wenzel’s five things to watch in this week’s matchup.

Pre-Snap Read: Michigan State vs Maryland

COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Michigan State has an excellent chance to make a strong statement this weekend that the rebuilding job under new head coach Jonathan Smith is ahead of schedule, if the Spartans can take down 8-point favorite Maryland on Saturday.
A Michigan State victory would be a strong statement within the football industry, but maybe not as strong from a fan perspective. I’m not sure Maryland’s football brand is as respected in the state of Michigan and regionally as it should be, for a program that has gone 8-5 in the past two seasons and defeated Auburn and North Carolina State in bowl games the past two years.
Maryland is good. The Terrapins are coming off a 50-7 victory over a weak UConn team last week. Maryland’s offense looked very good against a weak, soft, conservative UConn defense.
Michigan State’s defense was ahead of schedule last week against a mediocre Florida Atlantic offense. Michigan State’s offense was behind schedule, experiencing inconsistent accuracy and decision-making at the quarterback position, which was somewhat understandable considering it was sophomore Aidan Chiles’ first start as a college player. MSU’s running game also lacked consistency, especially in short yardage and in the red zone.
The big news from Maryland last week in my opinion was the excellent play of new starting quarterback Billy Edwards. The 6-foot-3, 222-pound redshirt-junior had waited behind the outgoing, record-breaking Taulia Tagovailoa for three years. Tagovailoa left Maryland as the Big Ten’s all-time passing leader. He went undrafted and is now playing in the CFL.
Edwards looked good last week. He’s strong in the pocket, is a physical ball carrier on designed runs or scrambles. He was accurate over the middle on intermediate routes, and seemed to do a good job processing coverages, although UConn’s coverages were simple, slow and soft.
I saw this Michigan State vs Maryland game as a swing game on the schedule prior to the season. But considering how well Edwards and his receivers looked last week, and Michigan State’s sputtering start on offense, this game goes from being a swing game to uphill slog for the Spartans.

Student shot in Joppatowne, Maryland high school
![Student shot in Joppatowne, Maryland high school Student shot in Joppatowne, Maryland high school](https://media.nbcwashington.com/2024/09/image-50-1.png?resize=1200%2C675&quality=85&strip=all)
One teen shot another during a dispute in a Maryland high school bathroom Friday in what authorities called an isolated incident.
The victim, a 15-year-old student at Joppatowne High School, was in serious condition after being airlifted to a hospital, the Harford County Public Schools said in a news release, citing information it received from the county sheriff’s department.
A 16-year-old student whom police identified as the shooter fled shortly afterward but was caught minutes later nearby, according to the news release. Officials said no information would be released immediately about the weapon, which had not been recovered.
The state’s attorney has said the suspect will be charged, the release said, citing Harford County Sheriff Jeff Gahler.
Shortly after the shooting, the sheriff’s office asked people to avoid the area, but emphasized that the confrontation was an “isolated incident, not an active shooter.” A parent-student reunification center was established at a nearby church. More than 100 personnel responded to the high school about 20 miles (32 kilometers) northeast of Baltimore, Gahler said.
The fight happened two days after a shooter whom authorities identified as a 14-year-old student killed four people at a high school outside Atlanta. Wednesday’s attack renewed debate about safe storage laws for guns and had parents wondering how to talk to their children about school shootings and trauma.
