The first recreational, adult-use cannabis sales in Connecticut will begin at nine hybrid retailers in January, according to the Department of Consumer Protection.
The DCP gave a 30-day notice to the nine hybrid retailers across the state that they can begin retail sales on Jan. 10, 2023, starting at 10 a.m. or as local zoning permits allow.
The locations approved are three Fine Fettle Dispensary locations in Newington, Stamford and Willimantic, two The Botanist locations in Danbury and Montville, Still River Wellness in Torrington, Willow Brook Wellness in Meriden and Blue Point Wellness of Connecticut in Branford (Blue Point is Green Thumb). Yeah, finally I can walk into a store not far from home!
All current medical cannabis producers met the space requirements needed, which is at least 250,000 square feet of growing and manufacturing space that is approved for adult-use production.
Consumers may purchase up to one-quarter of an ounce of cannabis flower, or its equivalent, per sale. This could include up to about seven pre-rolled cannabis cigarettes that weigh one gram each, two to four vape cartridges, edibles or a combination of products equaling one-quarter of an ounce. Edibles may not exceed five milligrams per serving, the DCP said.
“I am proud of the hard work our team has done to meet the goal of opening adult-use sales in a safe, well-regulated market,” DCP Commissioner Michelle H. Seagull said. “We know that many people are excited to participate in this marketplace, whether as a business or a consumer, and we encourage adults who choose to purchase and consume these products to do so responsibly once sales begin on January 10.”
