BRUNSWICK — A medical marijuana storefront, Elevated Remedies of Brunswick, will open later this summer, after getting unanimous approval from the planning board Tuesday night. 

Elevated Remedies of Brunswick, run by brothers Keith and Kevin Carlon will be located at 14 Industrial Parkway and is the first medical marijuana storefront in Brunswick since Stone Coast Cannabis opened in Cook’s Corner in 2017. Stone Coast was grandfathered in under the new ordinance which passed in the fall. 

There will be no cultivation on site, Keith Carlon told the Staff Review Committee earlier this month, according to meeting minutes. The space will be more like a pharmacy than a retail store, he said, and patients will wait in a waiting area while other patients are being helped one-on-one. They will sell the flower, edibles, oils and extracts, both THC and CBD products, Carlon told the committee.

He said Wednesday he is excited about the permit approval but “definitely still feeling like there’s a lot of work to be done.” 

Only one person spoke at the public hearing, and cast their voice in support of the business. 

Next, the Carlons will pursue licensing with the town and have some inspections done, but the “meat and potatoes” of the matter is starting light renovations of the space, putting in a bike rack and parking spaces, coordinating utilities and the like. They hope to open either the last week of July or the first week of August. 

Their core  focus will be on destigmatizing and advocating for the product’s safe use, he said.

“We’re here to help people,” Carlon said. “Yes, is it a business but we would like to expose more people to the healthy, safe use of cannabis as medicine.”
