So Oahu's second dispensary is on the cusp of opening. The state's other two that have opened -- one on Oahu and one on Maui have sold about 57lbs of cannibus resulting in revenue exceeding $450K.
In related news, the Big Island's dispensaries are not even close to opening. Apparently, they are still "trying to get building permits." Now we all know that Hawaii County's building permitting process is indeed a point of contention. But seriously?
In all due fairness, most medicinal Marijuana patients on the Big Island live in Puna. Most of these folk will grow their own. But for folks who are not able to grow, I feel sorry for them. They will have to wait at least until the Spring to see any dispensary doors open. Almost two years after being given the green light to open.
