CUMBERLAND — The race is on in Maryland for the growers and processors of medical marijuana to secure a place in the state with rural counties, like Allegany, being favored locations for the cannabis growers.
“It is a massive effort. You need a team of people who are very dedicated and it will take every bit of their effort,” said Ethan Ruby in a recent Times-News interview.
Ruby is the CEO of Peak Harvest Health. PHH officials announced plans Tuesday to open an indoor medical marijuana growing and processing center in the Riverside Industrial Complex on Kelly Road. The plan is contingent upon PHH securing one of the 15 growing licenses Maryland will issue toward the end of the year.
Now legal in 23 states and Washington, D.C., medical marijuana has become a multibillion dollar industry. Numerous medical marijuana growing companies are scrambling to secure one of the coveted licenses creating a very competitive climate.

Dumber than dirt for the Eastern Shore not to get a good slice of this pie. We're going to stick with soybeans and corn, it looks like, while the other counties get a multimillion dollar tax boost. Where are our legislators and why aren't they pushing for it?
