A Milestone Four Decades in the Making On December 22, 2017, the doors of Columbia’s first medical cannabis dispensary opened to a long line of Howard County residents eager to make their first legal cannabis purchase. Some had waited more than four years since Governor O’Malley signed legislation approving the state’s medical cannabis program in 2013. For the owners of Remedy Medical Dispensary, the journey to becoming Howard County’s premier dispensary began more than 44 years ago, right here in Columbia. It started in the mid 1970’s when Robert M. Duggan (Bob) co-founded the first recognized school of acupuncture in Maryland at a time when the practice was legal in only two states. Over 40 years, the school grew into an accredited multi-disciplinary university of health and wellness where students learned to approach healthcare by empowering the individual. It was in this holistic culture that Bob’s son and his childhood friends came of age. After graduating Wilde Lake High School, each went in different directions to pursue different careers. By 2013, they all had chosen to return to their roots in Maryland, where they saw a clear need for access to safe, natural medicine and an opportunity to provide it by applying for a dispensary license. When it was granted, they chose the name “Remedy” as a tribute to the healer who inspired them. Bob’s legacy lives on through the name Remedy (R<strong>MD</strong>-- his initials), as does his steadfast commitment to providing safe, natural methods of healing and compassionate care to the community. This is a core principle to Remedy’s philosophy. In its first year, Remedy has provided over 10,000 Marylanders with a professional and compassionate environment to learn about medical cannabis. Each day, Remedy staff help people learn how to become medical cannabis patients, provide private, one-one-one education sessions for those in need of information, and make personalized product recommendations to provide relief with cannabis. Along with multiple professional certifications, part of the training for Remedy’s patient advisors is the understanding that, in the words of Bob Duggan, “Wellness is a conversation.” FOR GREAT OFFERS AND FREEBIES IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD VISIT OURTOWNSDEALS.COM • ©2019 TODAY IN MAGAZINE • OURTOWNSFINEST.COM • 818-573-5443
