World's first marijuana gas pump opens in Colorado

Colorado-based Native Roots, a company that operates a number of medical marijuana facilities, officially opened ‘Gas and Grass,’ the first-ever establishment in the world that sells gas and medical marijuana, on November 07 in Colorado Springs, reported the New York Post.

Colorado state laws prohibit marijuana dispensaries from selling non-pot goods so, ‘Gas and Grass’ will have two different entrances—one for the dispensary and the other for the gas pump/convenience store.

The convenience store will sell lottery tickets, beverages, cigarettes, food items, and other products that can be usually bought in a c-store, according to Native Roots spokesperson Tia Mattson.

‘Gas and Grass’ also offers gas discounts and loyalty rewards card to medical marijuana patients.  For those who are not buying marijuana, standard prices are applied.

All marijuana purchases will require doctor’s prescription.
