WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) - Delaware's first medical marijuana dispensary will open on June 26, more than four years after lawmakers and Gov. Jack Markell first legalized pot for medicinal use.
The Wilmington News Journal reports The First Compassion Center, located outside of Wilmington, will open from 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Patient orientations are planned for June 18 and June 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
On Thursday, lawmakers opened Delaware's medical marijuana program to minors suffering seizures, severe pain or intractable nausea, among other conditions.
Officials say there are about 340 Delaware residents who carry cards allowing them to use medical marijuana.
