According to Ward 6 alderman Lance Davis, Garden Remedies has withdrawn its application to open a medical marijuana dispensary in the former Family Dollar store at 245 Elm Street.

The city has already approved another dispensary to go into the basement of the bfresh building across the street.

Despite Garden Remedies' experience and best intent, I would've been really surprised if this had ended up happening. With a competitor directly across the street, a huge space they were subletting with an unknown tenant, and a storefront painted a bleak black, I don't think many residents were too excited about it.

That said, I hope Family Dollar doesn't stay vacant long.
