The shop offers a variety of cannabis products for both medical and recreational use, serving an underserved community near the Ohio-West Virginia border.
Why it matters
The opening of Sunnyside marks the second dispensary in Belmont County and the first for Cresco Labs, providing greater access to cannabis products in an area where options have been limited. As more states legalize marijuana, the expansion of dispensaries into smaller communities is an important trend to watch.
The details

The only difference between medical and recreational products is the tax rate paid by customers.
