Mary Jane for the masses: Marijuana dispensaries bustling in Flagstaff after opening for adult use | Local

Carrie Clark, pharmacy manager at High Mountain Health in Flagstaff, said the business has definitely been busier than usual and sees the crowd as an opportunity to reinforce the pharmacy’s mission to improve people’s quality of life through cannabis. She explained that uncertainty – like the changes pharmacies face when they open their doors to recreational use – provide opportunities to identify strengths and discover opportunities for improvement. At High Mountain Health, Clark said the change has provided an opportunity to evaluate business and streamline processes.

With new recreational customers, Clark said opening up to adults provides the opportunity for high mountain health to grow, but it also allows the pharmacy to expand its reach further into the community.

“I believe the opportunity to share the healing message of cannabis with a much larger High Mountain Health family is the sweetest reward this time,” said Clark.

Similarly, Greenhouse of Flagstaff founder Ryan Hermansky said business is booming for them too. He explained that the convenience of not having to go through the process to get a medical marijuana card has always attracted more people than ever before. This is how the masses can enjoy the medicinal properties of cannabis, he said.
