Brisk business Friday but no reports of long, expansive lines at St. Louis area marijuana dispensaries. The first day of recreational sales was supposed to be Monday, but the state decided to give the go-ahead a little early.
"Everybody had an idea that this could happen, but it definitely did catch a few people off guard," CEO of Show Me Organics Boston Dickerson told KMOX early in the day. "We're serving recreational patients as we speak."
He likens it to a soft opening, since most were anticipating sales Monday.
KMOX asked the customers at Greenlight Dispensary on Chippewa St. in south St. Louis what they think about cannabis finally being totally legal.
Recreational customers simply show a legal ID to buy their marijuana. Medical patients said they were surprised to have to wait in line for the first time.
