Medical cannabis store opens in Little 5 Points
ATLANTA (WXIA) -- Next week, Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal is expected to sign the medical marijuana bill passed by the legislature.
One retailer in Atlanta's Little 5 Points neighborhood is trying to get a jump on the law – at a newly opened medical cannabis store.
The key word in the store's window is "cannabis." The modifier is "medical." But what's actually getting sold there is a little more nuanced.
"The Pot Shop is all things cannabis," said owner Paul Cornwell.
The Pot Shop is a store that is, indeed a store that is almost all things cannabis.
"Hemp clothing, hemp hats – no ganga, no pipes," Cornwell said. "Reefer camo – this is our line."
Cornwell argues that his store also sells medical cannabis. He stocks therapeutic oil that contains hemp, but does not contain the psychoactive THC, newly decriminalized the Georgia state legislature.
