Johnson City welcomed its first-ever adult-use cannabis dispensary to the village Thursday as the Greenery Spot officially opened at 246 Main St.

“Opening a cannabis dispensary has been a dream of mine for years,” said Myers. “Today is the culmination of hard work from me, family, friends, dozens of supporters and I’m honored to start welcoming customers and providing a venue to support local growers and farmers who are producing the highest-quality cannabis on the market.”
