ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — A new cannabis distribution warehouse celebrated its opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony in Rochester on Friday.
Nabis is recognized as the nation’s largest licensed cannabis wholesale platform. The company came to the area in order to expand its services and access to areas including Buffalo, Rochester, and Albany.
