NEWTON, Mass., May 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Garden Remedies, Inc. (GRI), Massachusetts' only cannabis company founded and led by a woman physician, officially opened their Newton dispensary, located at 697 Washington Street, for adult use cannabis sales today, Saturday, May 25, 2019.  Additionally, Garden Remedies launched a new line of their popular vape pens and cartridges.

"Today has been a very exciting first day serving adult use cannabis customers here at Garden Remedies in Newton," said Dr. Karen Munkacy, Founder, President and CEO, Garden Remedies, Inc.

Garden Remedies is locally owned, and its cannabis is locally grown.  The firm manufactures its all-natural cannabis products in Fitchburg, offers a medical cannabis dispensary in Melrose, and another location will open soon in Marlborough for adult and medical cannabis sales.
