A new marijuana dispensary has opened in Upland Borough, writes Pete Bannan for the Daily Times.
Verilife-Chester is the second dispensary in the county, joining AES Herbology Dispensary in Morton. They opened in May 2019.
The dispensary sits between Great Wall Chinese Restaurant and G&G Pizza in the Upland Center, 875 Upland Ave.
It’s aiming for 100 customers a day, seven days a week.
Verilife is a subsidy of Chicago-based PharmaCann Inc.
The dispensary’s potential customers come from the 366,146 patients that have registered with the state to receive medical marijuana.
Medical marijuana use covers 23 conditions in Pennsylvania, including chronic pain, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Straup said Verilife works with health care providers to alert patients to their service.
Verilife also hopes to offer workshops to the community at opioid recovery enters and chronic pain physician offices.
The Upland facility has hired up to 25 full-time local workers.
“We look forward to being an active member of the Chester community, providing high-quality products and service to ensure patients have access to the most effective options for improving their lives through cannabis,” said Brett Novey, CEO of PharmaCann in a press release.
