The spacious waiting room makes for a comfortable hangout, and the recreational side features an L-shaped bud bar with multiple registers to help […]

Natural Selections

Pure Marijuana Dispensary

One of three Pure Medical Dispensary locations, Pure on Bannock hasn’t changed much since it opened in 2010, other than opening a recreational side. But why fix something that isn’t broken?
