Chesapeake Apothecary at 4781 Crain Highway, Suite A is Southern Maryland’s longest-standing independently owned dispensary — founded by Seth Erlin, whose personal advocacy for medical cannabis was shaped by his aunt Kimberly Harman’s battle with ALS, and recognized as the “Best SoMD Dispensary 2023” by the region’s cannabis community. The White Plains location sits on US-301 (Crain Highway) in Charles County, accessible from MD-5 and I-495, making it a practical stop for residents of Waldorf, La Plata, Clinton, Fort Washington, and communities stretching toward DC — a drive of roughly 38 miles from the capital. With 1,445-plus active products across 110-plus brands, the store maintains one of the largest selections in Southern Maryland, stocking exclusively Maryland-grown and processed cannabis — Eden, Culta, Curio, Grassroots, Temple, Alchemist Labs, Verano, Mogul, and Cookies among the featured partners. Curbside pickup and Dutchie online ordering keep the experience fast for regulars, and medical delivery is available for qualifying patients with some restrictions. The loyalty points program runs on an honor system with stackable rewards redeemable at checkout. Staff are consistently noted in reviews for terpene knowledge and personalized guidance. Beyond the retail floor, Chesapeake Apothecary hosts educational seminars, cooking classes, and vendor events that reinforce its community-focused identity in a region where it was one of the first dispensaries to open. A second location — Chesapeake North in Clinton — extends the brand’s Southern Maryland footprint. Chesapeake Apothecary White Plains suits recreational adults 21+ and medical patients 18+ across Charles County and Southern Maryland who want the deepest Maryland-only product selection in the corridor, with late weeknight hours and a community-rooted independent ownership model.
