The medical marijuana dispensary located in the city of Butler will begin selling marijuana in dry leaf form beginning Wednesday.
CY+, also known as Cresco Yeltrah, on Pillow Street in Butler- next to Kelly Automotive Park- is one of 16 dispensaries across the state that will start selling the drug in plant form today. Another 12 dispensaries will follow in the coming weeks.
“This is a great addition to the state program as vaporizing dry leaf has the fastest speed to efficacy, which will provide patients the quickest relief possible,” Cresco Yeltrah partner Charlie Bachtell said. “Dry leaf is a lower-priced option as it’s raw plant material which provides greater access of cost-effective medicine to more patients in Pennsylvania.”
Cresco Yeltrah’s dry leaf indica, sativa and hybrid strains will be available at all of the 16 Pennsylvania dispensaries participating in phase one of the launch. The remaining 12 dispensaries will have the dry leaf form available Aug. 8. The Cresco Yeltrah products will be sold pre-packaged in a 1/8 of a gram or a one-gram translucent dram segmented by the strain and desired use of the medicine. Each dry leaf product falls into one of their three proprietary categories: Rise (red), Refresh (green), Rest (blue), named and color-coded to help the user intuitively identify the desired effects of the relevant strain’s cannabinoid profile.
The launch strains that Cresco Yeltrah delivered this week are DJ Flo, Durban, Outer Space, Chunky Diesel, Pineapple Express, 707 Headband, Alien Bubba, Bio Jesus, GG #4, Katsu Bubba Kush and Keystone Kush.
Cresco Yeltrah’s CY+ dispensaries, located in both Butler and in the Pittsburgh Strip District, will open at 10 a.m. on Wednesday with a variety of over 30 strains of dry leaf medical marijuana from five different growers in Pennsylvania. Their two dispensaries will be fully staffed to accommodate a large number of patients as they will have one of the largest selections of products in the state.
Pennsylvania Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine said the dry leaf form of medical marijuana provides a cost-effective option for patients, in addition to the other forms of medication already available at dispensaries.
Dispensaries will continue to have other forms of medical marijuana including oils, pills and topicals. Officials remind consumers that the dry leaf form of medical marijuana is available for vaporization only.
It is illegal to smoke the medication. When transporting it, you’re advised to keep it in the original container and have your medical marijuana ID card with you.
