DISPENSARY NEWS
City of St. Louis poised to extend dispensary hours
The St. Louis Board of Alderman is one step closer to extending the hours of dispensaries operating within the City of St. Louis. On September 20, the Housing, Urban Development & Zoning Committee passed the bill, which will allow dispensaries to remain open until 10 p.m., with a recommendation of âDo Pass.â The bill, introduced by Ward 14 Alderman Rasheen Aldridge, aims to better align dispensary hours (currently, they are required to close by 8 p.m.) in the city with those of surrounding counties. You can read the text of the bill here, or check out this recent report by KSDK on the changeâs potential impact on the cityâs revenue.

NEW PRODUCT ALERT
Good Taste Edibles releases new blackberry yuzu gummy
Good Taste Edibles recently released a gummy offering guaranteed to please those looking for a punch of bright citrus with their blackberries. The new offering, a mega-dosed blackberry yuzu gummy, pairs the taste of ripe blackberries with Asian citrus fruit, which is like a cross between a lemon and an orange. Each gummy contains 50 mg of THC, so a whole gummy packs quite a punch. (They can be broken up, however, for folks who want to taste the new flavor with a more mellow experience.)
