Chicago Bears great Jim McMahon of the 1985 Super Bowl-winning team will be on hand Saturday, Sept. 30, for Vertical Dispensary’s grand opening in Cary.

The event is set from noon to 6 p.m. at the dispensary, 20 Route 14, Cary. McMahon, on hand to launch Mac 9 by Revenant, will participate in a meet-and-greet from 2 to 4 p.m. that day.

According to Revenant’s website, rev-mj.com, McMahon is one of three retired NFL players who founded the marijuana brand.

“Jim credits the healing powers of cannabis for helping him overcome the painkiller habit and a better way to medicate,” according to the website.

The Cary dispensary has been open since July 29. Vendors and food along with other promotions will be available during the event.
