The first 100% locally owned cannabis dispensary is now open in Springfield. Share is located on South Sixth Street, and the owners of the dispensary also are also working on a craft grow facility on the north end. Share CEO Chris Stone says the grow facility will focus on cannabis-infused beverages, and he believes beverages will be a large segment of the cannabis market in five to ten years. His hope is that cannabis-infused beverages, which are currently only available at dispensaries, will eventually be available at convenience stores and bars. Stone sees the cannabis drinks as an alternative to alcohol.
