Beyond/Hello Bloomington, the city s first recreational cannabis dispensary, opened to the public Tuesday.
BLOOMINGTONÂ â As cars, trucks and snow plows swept past on nearby North Veterans Parkway, the ribbon was officially cut on Bloomington s first adult-use recreational marijuana dispensary Tuesday morning.Â
The opening comes less than a year after national cannabis retailer, cultivator and manufacturer Jushi Holdings Inc. in May opened a medical/recreational dispensary in Normal, the first in McLean County. Â
Both dispensaries operate under the Beyond/Hello brand. Medical patients can still use the Bloomington facility, but they will have to pay the notably higher recreational tax rate.Â
