Medical marijuana coming to Circle K gas stations in Florida

Green Thumb Industries, a Chicago-based cannabis company, announced its new partnership with one of the nation’s largest convenience store chains, Circle K, on Wednesday. The company said it will begin leasing space from ten of Circle K’s 600 Florida locations to test out the concept in 2023.

    I’m sorry but I fail to see the difference between driving to a dispensary and then after stopping at the convenience store vs. driving to a dispensary/convenience store combo. Am I missing something? Either way you’re going to buy weed and snacks. Making it one stop only makes it more convenient. It’s not like 7 yr olds are going to ride their bike down to the Circle K and buy a Reese’s and a preroll to get high around the corner. It’s for existing patients who go to dispensaries already

    GAS STATION TWEAKERS!!!!

    Trash weed for trash people

    The same way alcohol is available at stores, but you are expected not to drink and drive , is the same expectation with marijuana. It’s about convenience but some people aren’t going to buy no matter what. Same could apply for a child or elderly with some type of medical problem that uses medical marijuana and relies on a family member to get it, or caregiver. People are expected to know better on these things and that is the part that is NOT shocking.

    Tell me you have no tolerance without telling me u have no tolerance



  6. @TruRaidersG on October 27, 2024 at 9:37 pm

    But it make more sense buying alcohol in the gas station. Sure mister! When America still dealing heavy on drunk driving issues. It made more sense selling alcohol in the gas station.



  7. @UrMothersLoverr on October 27, 2024 at 9:37 pm

    I support it



  8. @CaseyCorbett on October 27, 2024 at 9:37 pm

    You can get alcohol at gas stations, what’s different about weed?



  9. @EpicBrony300 on October 27, 2024 at 9:38 pm

    GAS STATION TWEAKERS WILL BE REAL



  10. @travisscott1634 on October 27, 2024 at 9:38 pm

    How do you get to a dispensary? Your vehicle. What do they sell in gas stations already? Alcohol. How many deaths per year, alchohol 140,000. Its not like itd be any easier to get from these places then regular dispensarys. Its the same steps, just more locations. We have tobacco and alcohol shops somewhere to. Are people going to die because of those?!



  11. @hillbillyhullabaloo on October 27, 2024 at 9:38 pm

    Gas and Gas



  12. @Isturbo_ on October 27, 2024 at 9:39 pm

  13. @lilahdog568 on October 27, 2024 at 9:41 pm

  14. @dawngifford5582 on October 27, 2024 at 9:41 pm

    Hopefully this means we are closer to get it legal hit the like button if you agree



  15. @juliepackard7958 on October 27, 2024 at 9:42 pm

    Aye I’m a Floridian just leave us the hell alone we free



  16. @eriklee1794 on October 27, 2024 at 9:44 pm

    Just legalize it already……..stop wasting our time…..trying to delay the inevitable….



  17. @lxteko on October 27, 2024 at 9:44 pm

    This is honestly so stupid because a lot of times the same thing could be said for alcohol why would you put alcohol in a gas station if you’re about to go drive a car shouldn’t only be in places where you would not drive far like maybe in a Publix or a grocery store or an alcohol store not a gas station where you can literally fill up your car and drive even more



  18. @therekounasshow7822 on October 27, 2024 at 9:45 pm

    GAS STATION WEED



  19. @pamsummers1176 on October 27, 2024 at 9:45 pm

    The weed shop is next to the gas station, that sells beer alcohol, get with the program people,I’d rather have a stoned person driving than a drunk driver anyway, people have been stoned driving since the 70s ,obviously you have never been to Colorado, Missouri, or the other states it’s legal in,it makes it convenient get gas munchies then go to the pot shop, don’t be surprised if they put a pizza place in besides the pot shop 😂pizza pizza😂🎉



  20. @matth9254 on October 27, 2024 at 9:52 pm

    I really hope the potheads don’t ruin it for us legit medical patients. The made it so they control the amount because people were buying huge amounts at one time every other day and were telling people they were selling it. They got to stop making medical like its recreational.



  21. @tonycombo on October 27, 2024 at 9:52 pm

    I’m for it but it just seems like another place it’s going to sell marijuana that’s pure garbage. It is so hard to find decent weed at the dispensaries down here in Florida. The Cannabis industry down here is janky at best.



  22. @thevillain4385 on October 27, 2024 at 9:54 pm

    if you think it’s dangerous your just denying science. NO ONE HAS DIED from cannabis yet alcohol kills thousands each year and tobacco.



  23. @gmasbricks on October 27, 2024 at 9:54 pm

    Rise is awesome no more dangerous than all that alcohol the store has in reach of minors to steal so please save your its dangerous bs



  24. @youngpacman7604 on October 27, 2024 at 9:55 pm

    We want weed



  25. @cashcrazy7765 on October 27, 2024 at 9:56 pm

    Vote recreationally. . Man it’s a big market , the government is lame man , it’s been time to vote recreationally



  26. @1wayDrell on October 27, 2024 at 9:56 pm

    Just legalize the shit already



  27. @Jonathanjonathan899 on October 27, 2024 at 9:57 pm

    Circle k is great



  28. @jodiehighroller9820 on October 27, 2024 at 9:59 pm

    Keep voting for these republicans and Floridians will NEVER SEE LEGAL POT



  29. @omeshabattles on October 27, 2024 at 9:59 pm

    it’s not enough most people don’t have $200 to pay for a medical card and that’s why people go to the streets to get weed that laced btw because of bills or kids or other medication who is really going to pay for it we are 21 and older we know better than to smoke and drive but you will have some people who still will it’s like drunk driving yeah it’s that law not to do but some people still do so handle it like you would DUI you all are in charge of running this state and to see you not able to handle some like this worries us .



  30. @davidshettlesworth1442 on October 27, 2024 at 10:00 pm

    I guess Walgreens couldn’t keep up with the demand? If there is a need for the service a Good business provides it. 😊👍



  31. @WithLOVE_Indiana on October 27, 2024 at 10:02 pm

    Imagine the crime that will grow around a CIRCLE K for people trying to get gas ⛽.

    Ohhh… all of a sudden crime doesn’t come from drug use when it’s the establishment selling it.



  32. @StevenSiebern on October 27, 2024 at 10:06 pm

    They are preparing for the future when they ever legalize recreational marijiuana in Florida.



  33. @lucas60336 on October 27, 2024 at 10:08 pm

    Don’t ever buy no weed from the gas station, bro



  34. @beardeddragona210 on October 27, 2024 at 10:10 pm

    His argument against this proposition is it encourages "stoned driving ?!" Then gas stations shouldn’t sell alcohol, lest we have more 21 year old drunk drivers. B/C only 21 year-olds use gas stations. Idiots run this state…



  35. @Smile4420 on October 27, 2024 at 10:14 pm

    So every other store that sells prescriptions which people take that impair you is ok but it’s a problem for people to get there medicinal cannabis next to a gas station but you can go to cvs get Xanax and oxycodone with your snacks and that’s ok 👍🏼



  36. @newphonewhoth1s on October 27, 2024 at 10:16 pm

    Ain’t no way, gas station weed is real



  37. @georgeedward602 on October 27, 2024 at 10:18 pm

    My only problem is the distributor…we need to keep the little guy alive in this or the prices will still make us buy it illegally..Im sure only the top players will have control if not already and the cost will go up.



  38. @hillbillyhullabaloo on October 27, 2024 at 10:19 pm

    Any shop will be accessed by road. All dispensaries are driven to and from.



  39. @Jayvibes_SlaughterGangClan on October 27, 2024 at 10:20 pm

    For his gas comment I’m a medical marijuana patient and it’s no different than driving to a dispensary picking up your stuff they could be just as irresponsible picking it up from the dispensary and getting it in their car have a nice day make better decisions don’t forget to roll up



  40. @ethang9932 on October 27, 2024 at 10:21 pm

    Don’t ever buy weed from no gas station bro💀



  41. @cosetteworld on October 27, 2024 at 10:21 pm

    **Florida Intensifies**



  42. @pokewick6112 on October 27, 2024 at 10:22 pm

    that one guy is an idiot. here in michigan you cannot consume in the parking lot.



  43. @elevatedemotions4548 on October 27, 2024 at 10:22 pm

    Good Idea…Cannabis, Snicker’s and Dorito’s



  44. @tonycombo on October 27, 2024 at 10:22 pm

    That guy was an idiot. He can’t understand why they would put cannabis next to a gas station to encourage people to drive stoned LOL. You can go in the gas station and buy liquor hahaha. Or you can go across the street to another dispensary to buy your weed. It doesn’t matter where it is they’re not hidden.



  45. @persuasiongaming4487 on October 27, 2024 at 10:23 pm

    1:40 they sell alcohol at gas stations…



  46. @Bryan-uf3xf on October 27, 2024 at 10:23 pm

    I really hope they stop making Marijuana look worse then alcohol I personally have never gotten drunk or drank alcohol and am proud to say it I grew up watching people drink alcohol and they would always get irritated and start arguing and fighting for the smallest things and in the other hand Marijuana more less intoxicating and more relaxing and enjoyable filled with laughter and good times including munchies I really hope they pass the bill am a proud supporter let’s make this world a better place and help those that are in need of help legally LETS GOO 💚



  47. @brianhuntington6347 on October 27, 2024 at 10:23 pm

    I’m 100% for it all!!!! Without weed I’d probably be dead!!!



  48. @aniarty666 on October 27, 2024 at 10:24 pm

    Brandon boulevard right off of 60 there’s going to be one!



  49. @johnlewis1830 on October 27, 2024 at 10:26 pm

    I guarantee this same guy that says it’s dangerous to have a marijuana store next to a gas station has bought alcohol from those same gas stations or the DRIVE THRU at ABC liquor. These idiots are so hypocritical. Alcohol is a hundred times worse to drive on them marijuana. I would challenge anyone to drink a 5th of vodka for twenty bucks while I smoke 40 dollars worth of marijuana and see who can ride a bike around a parking lot. For safety reasons of course no cars. My point is you can’t operate a vehicle drunk, but a marijuana "high" isn’t like that, it’s not even as intense as Xanax or any of the anxiety meds and people drive on those. How many medications say "do not operate heavy machinery" almost all. And yet every one of y’all take yur meds and drive to work, or drive their kids to school so STFU with all yur fake fears. The media is a bunch of greedy, spineless puppets who peddle fear and hate for their masters. Sickening.
