First medical marijuana provisoning center set to open in Ottawa County

Medical marijuana will soon be available to purchase in Ottawa County, as a new provisioning center is set to open later this week. Celebrating its Grand Opening this Friday, Exit 9 will be the first medical marijuana store in the county, allowing anyone with a medical marijuana card and valid form of identification to purchase pot legally.

The provisioning center is the second of its kind in West Michigan, and is owned and operated by Agri-Med and its President Greg Maki, who also owns and runs Park Place Provisionary in Muskegon, which opened earlier this summer.

“We’re happy to be open in Ottawa County and in a convenient location for people from Grand Rapids, Holland and points north and south,” he said. “Ottawa County has about 4000 medical marijuana cardholders who, before now, had to travel significant distances to buy their medicine. It’s great to be able to serve this community,” Maki said.

According to a release, “Exit 9 carries a wide variety of cannabis flower as well as” other pot products, that are grown and made in Michigan.
