Bridgeport’s first recreational marijuana dispensary opened this week.
Affinity Dispensary is located on Commerce Drive and is open seven days a week.
Upon entertaining the dispensary, IDs are checked. Customers can purchase both medical and adult-use marijuana, either online or on site.
Once an order is placed and ready, IDs are checked again.
In order to prevent issues, the store has one entrance and one exit.
The store’s manager says they are excited to bring safe cannabis and job opportunities to Bridgeport.
“I think just in general, the cannabis industry is opening up and it’s a whole new world in Connecticut, and we’re super proud to be a part of it, and we’re super proud to do it in this city,” says Amy Panish.
