News » Port Angeles, WA Approves MMJ Dispensary





The Port Angeles, Washington City Council has given the OK for a medical marijuana dispensary to open. The council confirmed that the facility meets all requirements and Richard Pharr, the person behind the dispensary, will be opening doors this month.

The building occupancy permit for Olympian Canna was checked by the city police chief, attorney, and planners before approval. Pharr is an MMJ patient himself, having receiving a spinal injury while working construction. He hopes to help other patients who cannot grow themselves.

The dispensary will not sell the marijuana, which is against state law, but will charge for services. The location of the facility is being kept secret and appointments will be by phone with Pharr checking patient cards with doctors before inviting them to Olympian Canna. The security precautions are to limit the probability of robbery.
