Boston’s first medical marijuana dispensary sits in the bustle of Downtown Crossing, but you could walk by and not even realize it’s there. “That was one of the requirements of the approval of the city,” says Patriot Care CEO Bob Mayerson. “That there be no large signage outside.”
Patients will present their state issued medical marijuana card and another form of identification before being let into the dispensary. The facility has the look and feel of a doctor’s office, with very little marijuana on display. “We are healthcare company and see ourselves as a medical company,” says Mayerson. “All of the marijuana will be kept behind the counter in cabinets and drawers.”
