The status of a proposal to open a cannabis dispensary in the 3400 block of South Ashland Avenue appears to be officially undecided, but opponents are concerned it will be approved over their objections.
The Justice Cannabis Co. wants to open one of its BLOC-branded recreational and medicinal cannabis dispensaries at 3455-3459 S. Ashland Ave. in McKinley Park. The company would take over a corner site that includes a parking lot and a vacant, 2,760 square-foot building that formerly housed an insurance office and currency exchange. Justice Cannabis would reconfigure the facility to accommodate a waiting room, showroom, and sales area.
