MariMed Inc. (“MariMed”) (CSE: MRMD) (OTCQX: MRMD), a leading multi-state cannabis operator focused on improving lives every day, today announced the closing of its acquisition of Allgreens Dispensary, LLC on April 9, 2024. The approval of the license transfer by the Illinois Department of Financial & Professional Regulation, and subsequent closing of the acquisition, allows MariMed to fully consolidate the financial results of the Company’s Thrive-branded dispensary in Casey, Illinois, which had previously been operated under a Managed Services Agreement.

Thrive Casey is the only dispensary in Clark County, Illinois, 30 miles west of Terre Haute, Indiana. Thrive Casey is located at 912 N. State Highway 49, near the intersection of state Highway 49 and U.S. Interstate 70. The dispensary should benefit from attracting the thousands of tourists who annually visit Casey to see the 30 “World’s Largest” and “Big Things” on display throughout the city. They include the World’s Largest Rocking Chair and Mailbox.

    

The Company continues to look for additional retail locations in Illinois, where adult-use cannabis sales exceeded $1.6 billion last year. Current Illinois cannabis regulations allow an operator to own up to 10 dispensaries. MariMed also recently became vertical in Illinois, opening a craft grow and processing facility in Mt.

As you may have heard, there won’t be an official 420 celebration of cannabis and cannabis culture in Golden Gate Park this year. But that surely won’t stop you from celebrating your own way. And because cannabis has been available for recreational use in California since 2016, you probably already have your go-to shop, but in the same way that cocktail bars have different drink menus, you never know what you can discover when you branch out and try something new.

So, we’ve put together a list of our favorites, all of which offer quality and variety in oils, vapes, flowers, edibles, and everything in between, including a few consumption lounges, which, if you haven’t been to one before, is something we highly recommend you try at least once. But if you don’t want to be social, you can always hit up any of these shops and celebrate at home, where you’ll have easy access to the kitchen and DoorDash. However you plan to celebrate, now’s the time to pick up some goodies as you prepare for every stoner’s favorite holiday. And if you’re heading out of town, check out our guides to Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and San Diego as well.

FRESNO, Calif. (FOX26) — B-Real, one of the two main rappers in the platinum music group ‘Cypress Hill’, opened his brand-new dispensary Saturday morning in Fresno.

The new marijuana dispensary is located in the Tower District of Fresno, and there was a line around the building for people wanting to be some of the first customers to visit the store.

It’s been exciting, and to see everybody come out, it’s been amazing.

Cypress Hill was formed in 1988 out of South Gate, California. They were the first Latino American hip-hop group to go platinum and multi-platinum.

California is our home state, so it’s like our backyard.

While guests were waiting for the ribbon cutting to begin, they were able to enjoy a car show, merchandise booths, and even live glass-blowing demonstrations.

Once B-Real officially opened the store with the ribbon-cutting, the store was flooded with guests eager to meet the rapper and try his new branded products, as well as other selections available at the dispensary.

B-Real met fans and signed autographs as he mingled with residents.

When asked why he chose Fresno for his next location, B-Real explained,

Fresno’s always been one of the places that we wanted to open up because we knew we had a big

STAMFORD, CT — The Stamford Planning Board on April 9 recommended a special permit request from Nautilus Botanicals to open a hybrid cannabis dispensary at 1308 E. Main St., the site of The Boatyard BBQ & Grill.

Next up, the city’s zoning board will hold a public hearing on the application, according to Planning Board Chair Theresa Dell.

Nautilus Botanicals had proposed a different location for a dispensary in Stamford several months ago at 110 E. Main St., the former site of the drive-through grocery store The Barn. The proposal was denied by the Stamford Zoning Board due to parking issues.

The current site has more parking than is required by zoning regulations, and the planning board expressed support for the new location at 1308 E. Main St.

Nautilus Botanicals is the contract purchaser of the property.

“I like this location much better than the last one. I like the parking especially. That was one of our problems in the last one. I think it’s far back on the property that when people come in there will be sufficient parking,” Dell

ATLANTIC CITY — City native and Army veteran Ed Wilson says he is opening the city and state’s first 100% Black-owned, veteran-owned cannabis dispensary, Bakin’ Bad, on April 20.

The site at 2834 Atlantic Ave. took Wilson, who also coaches football and owns another Atlantic City business called Swapz AC, a little over two years to open after all the proper permitting and inspections were done.

“So we were thinking about names, and I didn’t want to get too far away from bakery. Then somebody said, ‘I want to be like Heisenberg, just the legal version,'” Wilson, 37, said Tuesday as he unveiled Bakin’ Bad for the first time to the public and members of the cannabis industry. “One of my partners said Bakin’ Bad instead of ‘Breaking Bad,’ and we just had an a-ha, eureka moment. We all agreed at that time that this is the one. That’s the name.”

Wilson served 12 years as an Army medic, with 51 months of combat time in Afghanistan and Iraq, and retired as a disabled veteran. Afterward he opened a shoe and clothing boutique called Swapz in Washington, D.C., in 2015.

State regulators are finalizing plans to expedite marijuana sales to adults.

Under the plan, existing medical dispensaries will receive dual licensing to sell cannabis to adults by mid-June — months ahead of schedule. (State lawmakers approved medical cannabis access in 2016.)

“The sooner consumers have market access to cannabis products, the more quickly we will begin to see disruptions to the unregulated marketplace,” NORML’s Deputy Director Paul Armentano said. “Retailers provide consumers with the option of obtaining lab-tested products in a safe, regulated environment.”

Adult-use marijuana sales will be subject to a ten percent excise tax in addition to an existing 5.75 percent sales tax. Sales are anticipated to generate between $276.2 million to $403.6 million in annual cannabis tax dollars within five years.

Voters in November approved a citizens’ initiated measure (Issue 2) legalizing the possession, home cultivation, and retail sale of cannabis for those age 21 or older. Provisions in the initiative’s called upon regulators to begin issuing retail licenses by late 2024.

Following the vote, several of the state’s leading Republicans moved to pass legislation gutting many of the initiative’s key provisions. Those efforts stalled after NORML and others generated thousands of communications urging legislators to enact
