Here’s Where To Buy Legal Weed: Cannabis Store Openings Ahead Of The New Year

The first licensed adult-use cannabis dispensary and delivery service in New York, Housing Works Cannabis Co, has celebrated a successful first year of operations. The dispensary, which reported selling roughly $12m worth of marijuana during its first six months, curated a menu of over 1,000 SKUs across 124 brands. This resulted in total sales of $24m in the company's first year. While New York could potentially house up to 600 stores based on California's density, Pablo Zuanic of Zuanic & Associates suggested that the figure could be over 3,600 if it follows Colorado's model. Other cannabis stores have opened in the US and Canada recently. Trulieve Cannabis opened two new medical dispensaries in Florida, while Ascend Wellness Holdings opened a dispensary in Ohio. Canadian retailer High Tide also opened three new Canna Cabana stores in Canada.
