JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (WJAC) — Legalization of recreational marijuana has been a topic up for discussion recently.
But medical marijuana has been legal since 2016.
Multiple medical marijuana dispensaries have been opening across the state of Pennsylvania.
Now, a second one will be opening right here in downtown Johnstown.
Beyond/Hello opened back in July.
It was the first medical marijuana dispensary to open in Johnstown.
Now, Harvest, a second medical marijuana dispensary, is set to open just a few blocks away.
Harvest has multiple locations across the country and already has three other locations in Pennsylvania.
I spoke with a Harvest employee who says it is the company's mission to help people through medicinal marijuana.
"It's truly what our mission is, which is to improve lives through the goodness of the plant. And that means a number of things. One are just the people who come in the door who maybe just have questions or are looking to move away from something else they use in their daily lives,” said Harvest’s head of corporate communications, Alex Howe.
Howe says Harvest's location in Johnstown should be set to open soon after the store passes a few more state inspections.
