The first medical marijuana dispensary in Columbia, 3Fifteen Primo Cannabis, opens this week at 4003 Ponderosa Street.
3Fifteen Primo had a soft launch for friends and family on Saturday. A grand opening is planned Tuesday through Thursday.
Two-thirds of Missourians voted to legalize medical marijuana in 2018, and since then various businesses — including dispensaries, cultivators and manufacturers — have been approved to operate in the state.
Jason Corrado, CEO of 3Fifteen Primo, said the soft opening over the weekend enabled employees to work out some kinks.
“We’re making sure that we’re using our point-of-sale system correctly and that it’s reporting correctly,” Corrado said. “The statewide track-and-trace system is very robust.”
