‘Not giving up on legalization,’ this Boise CBD dispensary is closing
A Boise CBD dispensary is saying farewell.
The Honey Pot CBD, 1228 S. Broadway Ave., will close by the end of June, it announced on social media.
“This is not an easy goodbye,” the local business explained. “It’s truly the HARDEST decision we’ve ever had to make. But the economy is not what it once was.”
CBD — short for cannabidiol — is a compound in cannabis. Unlike THC, it doesn’t cause a “high” in users. It is often sold in the form of lotions, oils and edibles for medicinal purposes.
Cannabis is illegal in Idaho. The Honey Pot is one of a handful of CBD-specialized stores in the Boise area. Many Treasure Valley residents travel to nearby Ontario, Oregon, where dispensaries legally sell cannabis and related products.
The Honey Pot CBD rates 5.0 out of 5.0 stars on Yelp and 4.9 out of 5.0 on Google.
Describing itself as Black-, Latinx- and veteran-owned, The HoneyPot is “a space that truly came from our hearts and passion for plant medicine!” it wrote. “Where our community could gather and talk about cannabis and CBD, openly. To educate you of its benefits, this beautiful plant, as a whole.”
Thanking customers, The Honey Pot indicated it will transition to online sales with nationwide shipping and local delivery. “We will build back up and fill a physical space again with the same passion, gratitude and hope for plant medicine,” it promised.
“… And don’t worry,” it added, “we will continue to fight and advocate for cannabis in Idaho! We are not giving up on legalization!”
