As we reported earlier this week, New York City was finally ready to hop on the bandwagon and legalize medical marijuana in the Big Apple. Of course some cities have weed completely legalized already – medical or not – but at least baby steps are better than no steps! Columbia Care opened its doors today in Union Square, and for now, will only serve patients with extreme ailments under a doctor’s orders. And don’t expect to get your prescription and walk in here and buy all of your favorite strains and edibles – they are limited to processed concentrates and oils that can be inhaled through vaporizers. Like I said, baby steps, but we’re getting there! Check out a video of the opening today below.
