Pot stores see a sales increase amid COVID-19 outbreak:
California Governor Gavin Newsom sent shockwaves through the West Coast on Thursday when he officially ordered all 40 million of the state’s residents essentially shelter in place . But among the “essential services” that he deemed will remain open — on top of pharmacies and food stores — was, perhaps surprisingly, marijuana dispensaries.
Medicine Man, which employs 90 people, is preparing for the possibility of moving all sales online — but Vander Veer feels confident that the company’s four locations will remain open. “Luckily we're considered essential businesses so far in Colorado,” says Vander Veer, referencing a mandate from Colorado Governor Jared Polis requiring all non-essential businesses to close.
Or at least ahead of this outbreak, they did. But even in places where COVID-19 is spreading, such as in Washington, dispensaries show no signs of slowing down. Ian Eisenberg, owner of the popular Seattle-based dispensary Uncle Ikes says his company is remaining open amid a cluster of cases in the state. But like Medicine Man, he is working to ensure customers and budtenders are as safe as possible.
