The trend of 24-hour dispensaries is growing across the country. With the convenience of round-the-clock access to medical and recreational needs, customers can now find a dispensary open at any time of day or night.
Scot Rutledge, owner of a 24-hour dispensary in Las Vegas, Nevada, said, “This is a 24-hour town and we are a 24-hour industry.” He believes that 24-hour dispensaries allow customers greater flexibility and convenience when selecting their products. He says, “You pick up your phone and you can Google ‘dispensaries near me’ and generally find one that’s open 24/7.”
Las Vegas is not the only city with a 24-hour dispensary. In Augusta, Georgia, there is a 15,000 square foot 24-hour self-automated dispensary that opened late last year. The city now has nearly a dozen dispensaries, including this one, as well as a 24-hour dispensary in the NAAVI site and the Sage Diner site, both located off Route 73 near Desert Inn and Sammy Davis Jr. Drive.
The 24-hour dispensary in Augusta is subject to specific regulations set by the city. These include limits on the number of locations where dispensaries can open, 24-hour security, and a public comment period. The 24-hour security is necessary to ensure customer and employee safety.
The trend of 24-hour dispensaries is growing, as evidenced by the one in Trulieve, West Virginia. This medical dispensary operates across the state in Belle and provides customers with access to medical marijuana 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Crypto assets have also been subject to this growing trend. Contrary to stocks, the market for crypto assets remains open 24/7, allowing for greater flexibility in trading. Yet paradoxically, says Magnifina’s Rogovy, “Extending the trading window can create a false sense of liquidity.”
The trend of 24-hour dispensaries is not without its downsides. An incident occurred in Ardmore, Oklahoma, at the Executive dispensary located at 24 L Street NW, where officers were dispatched in reference to a disturbance. It is important to take safety precautions when visiting a 24-hour dispensary, such as being aware of your surroundings and staying alert.
In conclusion, the trend of 24-hour dispensaries is growing across the country, providing customers with round-the-clock access to their medical or recreational needs. From Las Vegas to Augusta, Georgia, to Trulieve, West Virginia, customers have greater flexibility and convenience when selecting their products. However, with this trend comes potential risks, so it is important to take safety precautions when visiting a 24-hour dispensary.
