Medical Cannabis Dispensary Open In Beckley West Virginia
Demand far outpaced supply at the new store
Following a ribbon cutting, a line of customers waited outside the doors of southern West Virginia’s first medical cannabis dispensary on Friday, unbothered by cold temperatures and snow flurries.
The Cannabist, located at 300 Galleria Plaza in Beckley, celebrated its grand opening though stocks were in short supply with demand outstripping supply across the state for a new industry that relies on a product that needs to be grown and processed before it can be dispensed.
Before customers could walk into the dispensary, they were required to show their medical cannabis card as well as an ID before the security guard would let them through a keypad-protected door.
Jeff Darby, 63, said he drove all the way from Alderson to be one of the first in line Friday morning.
