New York City is joining the places around the country that are allowed to provide medicinal marijuana to those who have a prescription.
The city’s first marijuana dispensary will be opening in January 2016, near Manhattan’s Union Square.
The dispensary will be located on 14th Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues. It will be operated by Columbia Care, one of only five NYC companies that were awarded licenses to open marijuana shops. The companies were chosen from among 43 competing companies from all over the nation.
