Ever so slowly, medical marijuana retail outlets are opening around South Florida.
Curaleaf, the new brand for Costa Farms’ cannabis operation, launched its first stand-alone store Thursday in the Dadeland area.
The store at 9002 South Dadeland Blvd., Unit 1, is the second metropolitan-area pot shop to open in the county. Trulieve opened a store in April near Miami International Airport.
Liberty Health Sciences, another of Florida’s 12 licensed medical marijuana cultivators and distributors, announced this week that it plans to open a store across from Holy Cross Hospital in Fort Lauderdale.
“In opening the first of several state-of-the-art dispensaries throughout Florida, we want the community to know that we are committed to safety, accessibility, exceptional quality, and superior customer service,” Curaleaf CEO Gregg Roberts said in a press release.
