Pent-up demand, plus having only two dispensaries and one cultivation facility currently open locally, has led to an early shortage of medical marijuana products.
Solevo Wellness in Squirrel Hill was closed Monday, at least in part because “we are very low on product,” said Chief Operating Officer Sam Britz, adding that the shortage forced them to reschedule some appointments.
“A lot of people that we already have seen will be coming back to fill in their order when we get the next shipment in.”
Solevo is normally scheduled to be closed on Tuesday and they are expecting another shipment from the Cresco Yeltrah cultivation facility in Jefferson County on Wednesday.
The other local dispensary, Cresco Yeltrah’s CY+ in Butler, transacted the state’s first medical marijuana sales on Thursday morning and saw more than 150 patients that day.
