Allegany Medical Marijuana Dispensary, a new company based in Cumberland, Maryland, aims to obtain a highly sought after license to dispense cannabis for medical use. The Allegany Medical Marijuana Dispensary applied for one of the two licenses available later this year to represent Maryland Senatorial District One, serving a population of over 120,000 people. Research shows that access to medical cannabis dispensaries is associated with a significant reduction in opiate overdose fatalities.
