During the summer of 2020, the leaders of the Peninsula Alternative Health medical cannabis dispensary relocated its facility and launched Peninsula Wellness, the Eastern Shore of Maryland’s first cannabinoid-focused, holistic health campus. Peninsula Wellness is focused on outcomes that improve the vitality and quality of life of the community, and the new campus allows the general public to explore an interdisciplinary approach to cannabinoid-based medicine with experts in the cannabinoid field. During the month of March, Peninsula Wellness is streaming a variety of free educational classes taught by local industry experts on their Peninsula Wellness YouTube channel.
