Dr. Chanda Macias doesn’t have a one-of-a-kind story.
Right now it’s a one-of-146 kind of a story and come November she hopes it’s a one-in-six kind of story.
Macias, the owner and general manager of the National Holistic Healing Center Medical Marijuana Dispensary in Washington, D.C., is one of 146 applicants for the six alternative treatment center (ATC) licenses the New Jersey Department of Health will award in November.
If her Ilera Holistic Healthcare is named one of the licenses, it will deepen her connection to the Garden State.
Macias lived in the state for five years, owns a second home here and was awarded an MBA in supply chain management from Rutgers University.
