First Medical Marijuana Crop on Eastern Shore

The first crop of medical marijuana is already growing in Worcester County on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.

Shore Natural Rx told the Salisbury Daily Times that it hopes to be the first to hit the market.

The paper reports that the first plants have been taking leaf and will eventually undergo processing and state testing.

The facility covers an area of 35-thousand square feet and the company has invested $2 million turning the building into a green house.

The medical marijuana will be dispensed through third party dispensaries.

None will be sold on the property.
