COVID-19 and Maryland Dispensaries

While many businesses in Maryland have seen negative effects from COVID-19, have you been wondering how coronavirus is effecting your Maryland dispensary?

The medical marijuana industry has actually seen a comfortable flow in patrons during this time.

How Coronavirus is Effecting Your Maryland Dispensary

Stocking Up

Many dispensaries are attributing the continued success of their businesses during this time to patients who are stocking up on their medical marijuana to ensure they have what they need during isolation.

Additionally, many dispensaries are offering services such as curbside pickup or scheduled pickup to reduce potential exposure to the coronavirus.

Patient Anxiety

Patient anxiety surrounding the coronavirus is widely regarded as a cause for the success of medical marijuana dispensaries at this time.

Medical marijuana has been used as an effective tool for patients who suffer from insomnia or chronic anxiety.

Essential Business

Medical marijuana dispensaries are considered an essential business during COVID-19 which means that they remain open for patients who need marijuana for their medical conditions.

Because of this, the policy makers in Maryland are honoring medical marijuana as a legitimate and necessary product that can help provide relief for patients who require it to thrive.

Social Distancing

Still, some dispensaries are feeling the negative effects of coronavirus on their business.

Social distancing rules are not conducive for patrons to visit their store, as close proximity can be dangerous for patients who are already suffering from pre-coronavirus conditions.

It is always smart to reach out to your local dispensary to see what steps they are taking to honor social distancing guidelines in order to provide medical marijuana to the public.
