HAGERSTOWN, Md., Feb. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- District Cannabis, the standard bearer of premium medical cannabis in the DMV region, announced the completion of their pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing facility in Hagerstown, MD.

With the arrival of our new Maryland facility, we are able to expand our reach in the patient community and ensure that Maryland patients have access to medicine that adheres to the lofty standards that the medical cannabis community has come to expect," stated Co-Founder and Chairman Ed Weidenfeld.
