WILTON MAN GETS MARIJUANA DISPENSARY

AUGUSTA - A Wilton man has been awarded a license to run a medical
marijuana dispensary in what the state calls District 3 - Oxford,
Franklin and Androscoggin counties.

The Department of Health and Human Services' Division of Licensing and
Regulatory Services made the announcement Friday morning. Statewide,
three nonprofits were picked to run dispensaries in six districts.

Twenty-seven applications were reviewed and scored, according to a
press release. Timothy Smale, who will run the Remedy Compassion
Center from a facility at 932 U.S. Route 2 East in Wilton, scored the
highest of any of the applicants.

In his application to the state, Smale listed his intention to sell
medicinal marijuana in food forms like brownies, caramels and cookies
made with cannabis-infused butter and oil. He described outfitting his
building with 14 dome video cameras, 20 glass break detectors and
eight motion detectors.

The growing site would be at that same address.

Other details in the application, in the first year of operation:

?Smale estimated revenue at $762,142, expenses at $728,963;

?Six full-time employees in administration, seven in sales and six in
cultivation;

?375 patients; and

?Marijuana estimated at $400 an ounce. That would drop to $324 by
year three.
