Family-owned and -operated dispensaries are something Marylanders can all get behind in our search to support local businesses. Elevated Releaf opened in late September 2025 and is owned by two local families. The friendly employees have a passion for Cannabis that shines through to the customers they serve, putting time and care into every interaction. Next time you are going for a hike at Liberty Reservoir, stop in for a visit to enhance your experience.
Setting and Vibe
One of the first things you see when walking into this dispensary is a waiting area full of several varieties of plants from local houseplant boutique BotaniGal (@botanigal). There is a fridge full of nonmedicated Sunnies Socials seltzers, which customers can grab for free to stay hydrated. The walls are covered in murals from Maryland’s top Cannabis companies, adding a dose of art and culture that every dispensary needs. Whether you want a full dispensary experience or to quickly buzz through the drive-thru, they are prepared to accommodate the needs of every customer who shops at the store.
Flower
Gazing over the menu, BL^CK MRKT has a strong presence, which we love to see, considering the fire they put out consistently. For those looking to shop based on terpenes, they have a terpene chart on the counter so you never have to second-guess your purchase. They can also point you in the right direction of the high-THC strains if that is more your cup of tea. The menu is absolutely stacked with options, making this a destination dispensary for flower lovers.
Concentrates
During our visit, there were nearly 60 different concentrate options on the menu, with every fruit and baked good strain under the sun. The Elevated Releaf website makes it easy to shop based on desired effects, terpene or THC content, brands and even weights of each jar. Beezle and Eden Solventless both had rosins available here, in addition to more than a dozen brands with live resins, hash and RSO.
Edibles
The staff at this store are very well versed in the edible options they offer, helping new patients get a bearing for what they may want to try. Baked goods, chocolates, gummies, sodas, seltzers and tablets can all be found on the menu. As new products come out, they stock them quickly and try to keep their customers’ favorites regularly on the shelves.

Sour Peel by Evermore Cannabis Company
Busting open this bag, my nose was flooded with tropical terpenes dominated by a lingering citrusy aroma. These dense, frosty nugs have a slight purple hue accompanied by bright orange pistils surrounding each bud. For the citrus terpene chasers, this is a must-try. After smoking a joint, I felt energetic and mentally stimulated, making this a go-to strain for that midday smoke.
