Apex Noire dispensary opens downtown

Apex Noire, former City Councilor Tito Jackson’s downtown cannabis dispensary, is open. 

Flashback: Jackson envisioned a 62-seat cannabis lounge above his shop on 150 State St., but ended up getting a liquor license instead of a cannabis consumption license. 

• The liquor license will be limited to the lounge on the third floor, separate from the dispensary area on the second floor.
• Jackson said at the time he would still like to open a cannabis lounge one day, but wants to hold off until the state finalizes its social consumption regulations. 

The latest: The business held a soft opening earlier this month. The lounge isn’t open yet, but customers can buy edibles, flower and other cannabis products on the second floor. 

✍️ Steph’s pro tip: Betty’s Eddies makes great melatonin- and cannabis-infused fruit chews for bed time (or so I’ve heard), but among the most popular is the non-drowsy passion fruit flavor.

• Apex carries both.
