ELKTON — One of two medical marijuana dispensaries in Cecil County is already open and the second expects to do so in the coming weeks as medical marijuana begins its slow roll out throughout the state.
PharmKent LLC, located at 330 E. Pulaski Highway in Elkton, has been awarded a preliminary license and is already taking applications from people whose conditions warrant use of the drug, said Peter Murphy, managing member of the dispensary.

Murphy said sales of approved cannabis products could begin by the end of December or by early January.
The second dispensary — Nature’s Care and Wellness at 4925 Pulaski Highway in Perryville — expects to be issued its license soon, said Linda Condon, director. Once the license is acquired, the dispensary plans to open on Jan. 15, but the office will take calls beginning Jan. 2 to help people register with the state, she said, noting a certificate is required to receive medical marijuana.
