Clarion will not have medical marijuana dispensary

From staff reports

The Pennsylvania Department of Health issued 23 dispensary permits on Tuesday for Phase II of the medical marijuana program, but Sunset Hills, which was seeking to have one in Clarion, was denied.

The Wolf administration’s denial to the Butler-based business comes after Sunset Hills was denied a grow/process permit in August.

Those granted permits will now have six months in which to become operational before they can begin dispensing medical marijuana. Once all Phase II dispensaries are operational, there will be a total of 79 dispensaries located throughout the commonwealth.

A complete list of operational dispensary locations is available on the Department of Health website at www.medicalmarijuana.pa.gov.
