The dispensary was looking for individuals with a background in health who wanted to get involved in an upcoming field.

“I believe it’s the future. Medicinal marijuana…is upcoming, and I want to get my foot in the door,” says potential job candidate Martin Cohello.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new dispensary is expected to be held within the next month.
