Wellness Connection of Maine, the state’s largest medical marijuana dispensary group, has announced that it’s relocating its Thomaston dispensary to downtown Bath. CEO Patricia Rosi says the final move will take place sometime in August. All one thousand patients in Thomaston will have the option of transferring their memberships from to Bath or to the group’s Gardiner location.
“The reason that is driving the move is it will allow us to serve patients more effectively, more efficiently and while offering them more space and privacy than our current location can offer,” says Rosi.
She says there’s a strong demand for medical marijuana in the mid-coast area and she expects the number of patients could double in the next year. But she says the move is bittersweet because Thomaston has been a receptive community for the dispensary.
“It’s also a little bittersweet because our relocation to Bath, while it will be more accessible to many, it will also make it more challenging for some to access their marijuana,” she says.
Because of that challenge Wellness Connection will explore a delivery service for patients who can’t make the trip. Wellness Connection operates four dispensaries and one cultivation facility in Maine, serving more than 12,000 patients.
