Company Outlines Hopes For Snow Hill Marijuana Facility; State To Issue Licenses In 2016

SNOW HILL – A local businessman shared his plans to bring a medical marijuana growing, processing and distribution facility to the little town of Snow Hill during a special work session this week.

In a work session hosted by the mayor and town council Tuesday, Royal Plus founder Matt Odachowski told residents he had applied to the state for one of the 15 licenses to be awarded to grow medical marijuana and was also seeking approval to process and dispense the drug.

“We’re in an uphill battle but we wanted to share what we’re trying to do,” Odachowski said.

Odachowski said that his company, Positive Energy, had submitted its application to the state earlier this month. Though state officials were expected to make a decision at the end of January, he said that because more than 900 applications had been submitted by companies interested in either growing, processing or distributing that could be delayed. According to Odachowski, the state received 102 applications from interested growers but would only be awarding 15 licenses in that category. More than 700 applications were submitted by companies who wanted to open medical marijuana dispensaries even though there will be no more than two of those per senate district. Odachowski said 75 processing applications had been submitted but it wasn’t clear how many of those would be given permission to set up in Maryland.

Mathias will be a part-time quality control smoker! He's done more than his share of drugs with his old friend Rachel back in the day! Isn't that right Jim?

These brothers just won't leave Snow Hill alone will they? As if there aren't enough weed dealers in town already.

This is a textbook example of crony capitalism.

That would be a big win for snow hill and also him. That wear house sits mostly empty and needs this bad.

That's what businessmen do: take an opportunity, fill a public need and make some money!
