Danbury's First Medical Marijuana Dispensary Only Weeks Away

Bethel's medical marijuana dispensary, Compassionate Care Center of Connecticut, will soon morph into Danbury's first medical cannabis dispensary when The Botanist opens in late September at 105 Mill Plain Road.

To be clear, this facility will not be a recreational marijuana dispensary. Compassionate Care was purchased by Acreage Holdings, Inc. in 2018 and decided to rebrand the dispensary, according to the website cannabisdispensarymag.com.
