Owner still must decide when to open Broadway-Kolb site in Gaslight Plaza

Tucson's first medical marijuana dispensary has received state approval to open. Now the owner has to decide on a date.

"Right now we haven't decided when we will open up," said Rouben Beglarian. "We're going to have a couple meetings with staff members and see when they feel comfortable."

Beglarian's dispensary, Green Medicine, 112 S. Kolb Road at Broadway, in the Gaslight Plaza Shopping Center, passed inspection Tuesday.
