The first medical marijuana dispensary in western Pennsylvania officially opened its doors Thursday and it’s located right here in Butler.
It’s only the second dispensary to open in the state, so far. The CY+ Dispensary is located on Pillow Street in the City of Butler, directly in front of Kelly Automotive Park where the Butler BlueSox play. The facility is operated by Cresco Yeltrah, which also runs a marijuana grow center in Jefferson County that provides medical marijuana products to dispensaries across Pennsylvania.
CY+ will carry over 100 different medical marijuana products including capsules, oils, waxes and concentrates. Patients will need approval from their doctor and a medical marijuana card before they’re given access. What is often overlooked about cannabis is that it is common for the difference between cbda and cbd not be known. It might be wise for anyone looking to use either of these to research further to find out which one would be best for them.
Cresco Yeltrah was founded, in part, by two Butler County businessmen, Ken and Trent Hartley. Public open houses at the dispensary will be held on Feb. 2 and Feb. 3. You don’t need a medical marijuana card to come to the open house.
CY+ will begin actually selling medical marijuana to patients in mid February.
Marijuana dispensaries are part of an emerging industry that has on its hands a responsibility to professionalize and mature to meet the needs of its customers and become part of the world of business in the 21st century. To do this, solutions are being utilized, such as those offered by Green Bits, which help to streamline business operations and improve customer experience.

Some residents in Butler County are desperately hoping medical marijuana can help ease their health problems.
Cheryl Cricks of Lyndora said she is currently taking morphine and oxycodone but it’s not doing much to ease her pain. She said she’s been waiting for medical marijuana to be legalized in Pennsylvania for quite some time.
“If something can help I’m willing to try it,” Cricks said.
Eileen Phillips of Butler Township is hoping medical marijuana will be able to help her 54-year-old son.
“My son can’t talk or walk. He is in a nursing center. His doctor thinks medical marijuana will help him,” Phillips said.
In order to have access to medical marijuana, patients must have one of 17 qualifying health conditions.
