Circle K gas stations are going to bring a new meaning to "highway" come next year.
The gas station and convenience store chain has teamed up with multi-state cannabis operator Green Thumb Industries to sell licensed cannabis at Circle K gas outlets in the state of Florida. The partnership marks the first time cannabis will be available for purchase at a gas station, as marijuana has only been legally sold in dispensaries in the United States, while other countries with legal cannabis programs have sold marijuana in pharmacies, according to Bloomberg.
The selling of marijuana is expected to “continue to normalize” cannabis by fusing it with standard consumer products, Green Thumb CEO Ben Kovler said, describing the partnership as “a futuristic deal.”
