Curio Wellness to open first Far & Dotter cannabis dispensaries outside of Maryland

Timonium-based cannabis company Curio Wellness is set to open its first two out-of-state “Far & Dotter” franchises, paving the way for future national expansion. The two dispensaries will be in vastly different markets, one in Mississippi, where medical cannabis was legalized earlier this year, and the other in New Jersey, a state with a brand new recreational industry. Curio officials say they’re still searching for the exact locations of the two stores but Greg Miller, Far & Dotter’s president of retail, said he hopes that at least one of the stores will open within the next six months. Far & Dotter franchisees already been granted licenses to sell recreational and medical cannabis in New Jersey and Mississippi, respectively.
