Two more of Craig’s city-allotted seven licensed retail marijuana dispensaries opened up in town over the last few weeks. As the city’s total rises to five recreational dispensaries, it also added one medical option.
Tumbleweed Dispensary has yet to have its grand opening, but employees said it offers both recreational and medical cannabis.
That means Tumbleweed joins Shaun Hadley’s Craig Apothecary in providing the prescribed product. So, what exactly is the difference? Hadley, who also owns recreational outlet HoneyBear Apothecary in town, said it’s fairly simple: strength.
“At our (medical) shop, what’s popular is the 1,000-milligram jars,” Hadley said. “That lasts people a long time. At our recreational shop, you’re limited to only 100 milligrams per serving. That’s a big difference. The other is you can purchase up to 2 ounces of cannabis as opposed to 1 on the recreational side.”
