North Dakota's first medical marijuana dispensary opened for business Friday in a Fargo mini-mall and several of the dozen or so people who showed up in the first hour said they're relieved they can finally get the drug.
It took the state more than two years to build up a regulatory structure after voters approved medical marijuana in 2016. Marcus Schumacher, 23, who suffers from cystic fibrosis, showed up in the cold and snow and said it was worth the wait.
"It was a little bit slow but it's day one," said Schumacher, who spent about an hour filling out forms and looking through the offerings. "I'm very relieved, in all honesty."
