Butler County’s first medical marijuana dispensary has officially opened.

Bloom Medicinals at 403 S. Main St. in Seven Mile opened at noon, according to Andrew Wagner, head of operations for the business. A few customers were allowed into the business a few minutes before that official opening time.

The pot emporium will be open from noon to 7 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays through Saturdays. It’s one of two opening in the county out of 45 dispensaries granted state approved provisional licenses last summer.
