When Kentucky’s medical marijuana program goes online at the start of January, it will probably feel more like a soft launch than a full-court press.”The state has shared that they want to make sure the program is sustainable, which is why they’re limiting it tremendously in this first round,” said Sharmili Reddy, executive director of Planning and Development Services of Kenton County.Reddy said those limits mean there will be a maximum of 48 dispensaries spread out among all of Kentucky’s 120 counties.City councils statewide are now deciding whether or not they want to welcome cannabis companies.

It wasn’t long ago that marijuana was seen as a gateway drug, a public danger and a menace to society – and while those attitudes still exist, they’ve become far less vocal as a rising tide of especially older people embrace the medicinal benefits of marijuana.

Sunburn Cannabis Opens 14th Dispensary in Panama City Beach – stupidDOPE.com
Sunburn Cannabis, a leading vertically integrated cannabis operator based in Florida, proudly announces the grand opening of its first dispensary in Panama City Beach. This marks the Company’s 14th store across the Sunshine State. Conveniently located at 11049 Hutchison Blvd, the new dispensary welcomes customers daily from 9 am to 9 pm.
Inspired by Florida’s vibrant history and the compelling story of CEO and Founder Brady Cobb, Sunburn Cannabis carries a rich legacy. Brady Cobb’s late father, Clyde Walton “Bill” Cobb, was a notable cannabis smuggler in the state during the 1970s and 1980s. The brand name, Sunburn, is a nod to “Operation Sunburn,” a significant federal and state investigation that dismantled Bill Cobb’s smuggling operations in 1982.
“Panama City Beach holds a special place in my family’s history,” remarked Brady Cobb. “Opening our 14th location here is particularly meaningful, as it is the same town where my father and his crew had some of their most intriguing offloads. The Emerald Coast is one of my favorite regions in Florida, and I am eager for our Sunburn team to become trusted partners in this community.”
Sunburn Cannabis is committed to delivering a premium retail experience tailored for Floridians. The team
