State officials have told marijuana dispensaries and processors not to accept products from a Lothian growing facility.
The Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission has placed an “administrative hold” on products from ForwardGro.

Joy Strand, the commission’s executive director, said in a statement Wednesday the hold on ForwardGro’s products was “a precautionary measure” pursuant to a section of Maryland codes and regulations regarding inspections.
While Strand did not comment as to the nature of the investigation, she cited part of Maryland code that states a possible suspension of product distribution if “an inspector has reasonable suspicion of an operational failure or of conditions that create a likelihood of diversion, contamination, or a risk to the public health.”
