A new medical pot shop has opened in Grand Junction, and it's the first to serve both medical marijuana users and the general public.
Nature's Medicine on Patterson Road offers medical marijuana to those with a state license, and natural remedies and treatments to the general public, according to the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel.
Voters in Colorado agreed to allow marijuana for medical uses under Amendment 20 in 2000. It allows patients with debilitating medical condition to get a medical marijuana card from their doctor.
The Sentinel reported there are three other dispensaries in Grand Junction, but Nature's Medicine is the first business with a storefront open to both medical marijuana users and the general public. Only marijuana users with a card are allowed into a locked room off the lobby where marijuana is stored.
Nature's Medicine also operates a location in Loveland and aims to open a storefront soon in Boulder.
As of April 30, 166 people in Mesa County had medical marijuana cards, according to the Colorado Department of Health and Environment. An additional 177 people hold cards in the surrounding counties of Garfield, Delta and Montrose.
