Michael Hilland said they started Brownies two years ago. His mom is a retired veteran and CBD helped with her PTSD and trouble sleeping. “I noticed not many CBD stores in the area so we decided that if it could help her, it could help everyone,” said Hilland.

The Brownies shop location was already approved by OCM, said Hilland, and they are currently working on securing, remodeling, and hiring. The dispensary will be selling THC flower, cartridges, edibles, topicals, oils, and concentrates.
