Serving customers twenty-one and over, the state is already seeing a boom with approximately forty percent of the current licensed medicinal marijuana dispensaries expanding to this new market, with those numbers expected to rise even further as the year progresses.
To help meet the expected demand for the product, the state will initially limit sales to a quarter of an ounce (or its equivalent) per transaction. Connecticut’s marijuana regulation agency will be monitoring the sales closely and will continue to adjust the quantity once they get a better understanding of the need.
With dozens of dispensaries expected to open throughout the year, along with more than a hundred related retailers in process of opening, so far fifty of Connecticut’s cities and towns have opted out by issuing a prohibition or moratorium on cannabis establishments.
