BOSTON, MA and WILMINGTON, DE -- (Marketwired) -- 07/02/15 -- MariMed Advisors (a subsidiary of Worlds Online) (OTCQB: WORX) shared the excitement of Delaware medical marijuana patients as First State Compassion Center (First State), Delaware's first medical marijuana dispensary, opened its doors at 37 Germay Drive in Wilmington on June 26 and sailed smoothly through its first days of business. MariMed has been assisting First State since its infancy, providing advisory services on all aspects of the business including site selection, license application, design, cultivation, security, staffing, operations, and optimization as well as raising funding for the facility.

MariMed is recognized as an industry leader for the development and build-out of State-licensed medical cannabis facilities. Its team developed the highly regarded, state of the art and regulatory compliant Thomas C. Slater Compassionate Center in Rhode Island. First State has adopted MariMed's proven replicable, systematic approach to efficient operations, compliance and customer service that helps clients make the right decisions that improve quality and mitigate risk.

"It has been so gratifying for our team to provide hundreds of patients with access to a safe, secure environment where they can purchase high quality cannabis to treat their qualifying medical conditions," stated Mark Lally, CEO of First State Compassion Center. "MariMed's expertise was invaluable in obtaining our licenses and opening our facility."

"We have spent well over a year working with the First State team teaching them how to leverage our national experience and 'best practices.' They are off to a stellar start," Robert Fireman, CEO of MariMed Advisors. "First State has a solid, diverse team that has diligently adapted our processes and procedures to create an efficient, first class cultivation and dispensary uniquely tailored to Delaware's laws and patient needs."

First State operates under strict state requirements for security, packaging, laboratory testing, quality controls, technology, employee background checks, cultivation and inventory.
