— Locally owned, Bethesda

One owner. One shop. No intermediaries.

Andrew Collins opened this dispensary and still runs it. Every stocking decision, every policy, every customer interaction traces back to a single accountable person — not a regional manager in another state.

Andrew Collins — owner, operator, neighbor

Andrew has been in Bethesda since the shop opened. He's not a franchise licensee or a silent investor — he's the person who shows up, knows the regulars, and answers for the operation directly.

That kind of accountability is rare in a market moving fast toward chain ownership. Here, it's just how the business works.

Independent means the shelves answer to customers, not a planogram

Multi-state operators stock what their corporate office approves. We stock what works for the people who walk through our door. No mandated product mix, no quarterly resets from a distant office.
