RISE Silver Spring, a dispensary at 7900 Fenton St. held an open house Tuesday and could start selling product in the coming week, Bethesda Beat reports.

Another dispensary, RISE Bethesda, plans to open over the next couple of weeks in the Wildwood Medical Center. The shop will occupy 1,500 SF at 10401 Old Georgetown Road.
