CHRISTIANSBURG, Va. – The New River Valley is getting a medical marijuana dispensary.
RISE Christiansburg on Roanoke Street will offer drive-through and delivery services for a variety of cannabis products to people with a medical marijuana card.
The Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon-cutting event Wednesday afternoon to celebrate RISE’s opening.
We’re told cannabis products can help with chemotherapy, Parkinson’s and veterans with PTSD. A pharmacist will also be on-site to answer questions.
“Giving patients a good quality, safe experience with cannabis is paramount,” said Virginia Market Strategic Leader Shanna Berry. “We’re here to serve the community, being a steward of the community that’s kind of what sets us apart.”
In Virginia, there are no qualifying conditions to become a patient.
