Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan overhauled the state’s 16-member medical cannabis commission this week, making 10 appointments and doubling its minority representation.
Hogan filled three vacancies on the panel, replaced six commissioners whose terms had expired and reappointed a 10th commissioner, assistant comptroller John Gontrum, according to the Baltimore Business Journal.
The other nine appointees, according to the Business Journal:
- Charles LoDico, a senior chemist/toxicologist for the Department of Health
- Barry Pope, a drug rebate manager and PBM clinical pharmacist for Conduent State Healthcare
- Brian Lopez, a partner and executive vice president for Osprey Property Co.
- Alvin Davis, a partner at Cumberland Anesthesia and Pain Management Associates who specializes in cardiac and thoracic anesthesia
- Jeffrey Gahler, the Harford County sheriff since 2014
- Charles Smith III, state’s attorney for Frederick County since 2007
- Rahel Rhodes, a horticulture associate agent and master gardener coordinator for the University of Maryland Extension – Queen Anne’s County
- Ehsan Abdeshahian, a staff physician with specialties in pain and sports medicine for Advanced Pain Management Specialists
- Scott Welsh, the owner of Maryland Flower and Foliage, where he maintains 160,000 square feet of greenhouse space and 100,000 square feet of outdoor growing areas
How craft cannabis businesses are catering to consumers' desire for high end, small batch products.
Where are the women? Where are the nurses? This is unbelievable.
This is the future for this mess, Maryland
