Congratulations to Nick Vita and the Columbia Care team. This company has successfully opened and operated marijuana cultivations and dispensaries in 3 other states, including Arizona, Massachusetts and Washington D.C.
Marijuana Licensees in New York faced a lot of pressure given time requirements for opening and operating.
Experience and professionalism will help move the New York marijuana industry a long faster and with more confidence. New York City Marijuana patients are in good hands.
Don’t expect jugs of pungent buds on display — the facility will be overseen by pharmacists and no smokable reefer will be available.
Only patients suffering from debilitating and sometimes terminal diseases will have access to the marijuana products sold in liquid form, capsules or concentrate for vaporization.
The patients must have registered with the Health Department, obtained a registration card and be certified by a state-approved physician before purchasing the weed.
