There were no comments heard from officials in Southwest Greensburg regarding this.<\/p>\n The opening of the Maitri Medicinals Southwest Greensburg medical marijuana dispensary is expected to create about 20 jobs.<\/p>\n Wilson said that they prefer to hire local citizens with this comment, \u201cIf you look at all of our other dispensaries, we hire folks from the local community, which has been very beneficial for us in the past.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Terri Kroh, the medical director of the Maitri medicinals Southwest Greensburg medical marijuana dispensary believes that medical marijuana can be beneficial.<\/p>\n She said, \u201cIt is very rewarding. You see so many lives changed, individuals that came in that really were in so much pain they couldn\u2019t walk, and then two weeks later they come back, and they\u2019re kicking their canes up in the air. It\u2019s amazing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n The newly opened dispensary in Southwest Greensburg is not the first of the Maitri Medicinals dispensaries. It is the third medical marijuana dispensary opened by the company.<\/p>\n Other locations of their dispensaries are in the Pittsburgh East Liberty neighborhood and in Uniontown, Fayette County.<\/p>\n While waiting for the approval of the state, Maitri Medicinals invited community members and local politicians to visit the facility before products are brought inside and before patients come in to purchase them.<\/p>\n There was a ribbon-cutting ceremony that took place after the tours together with members of the Westmoreland County Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n When medical marijuana patients come to purchase medical cannabis products, they will go through this process:<\/p>\n Jenna Parker, vice president of retail operations, said that the whole process is expected to take about 8 minutes.<\/p>\n The new dispensary allows products coming into the facility to be brought in through a garage door in the back. These products will be sorted and stored in a vault, with the orders taken in by employees of Maitri Medicinals.<\/p>\n Wilson expressed their eagerness to serve patients in Westmoreland County as they open a Southwest Greensburg medical marijuana dispensary.<\/p>\n Their pharmacists aim to work with patients to determine the best strain for each patient\u2019s medical diagnosis, according to Marisa Maraugha, a wholesale marketing representative of Maitri Medicinals.<\/p>\n The company grows its own medical marijuana plants at its Pittsburgh location under Maitri Genetics. They develop each cannabis product alongside pharmacists who review the labs for each plant.<\/p>\n Medical director Kroh sums up how the Southwest Greensburg medical marijuana dispensary will serve patients with this thought: \u201cWe really just help patients (by listening) compassionately to their symptoms and the issues they\u2019re having and the treatment goals that they\u2019re trying to obtain, and then walk them through kind of a 101 on medical marijuana, how it works in the body, what strains and what terpenes might be best for the individual and then help them choose a proper formulation that they feel most comfortable with.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Visit\u00a0TeleLeaf RX<\/a>\u00a0for more information about\u00a0medical marijuana legalization in your area<\/a>, you may also\u00a0contact us<\/a>\u00a0to know more about medical marijuana cards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Maitri Medicinals is the new Southwest Greensburg medical marijuana dispensary that has opened its doors to medical marijuana patients who are in need of cannabis products.
