DRYDEN, N.Y. (WHCU) — A third marijuana dispensary opens early next month in Tompkins County. 

Dryden Dispensary is at the corner of Route 13 and Irish Settlement Road. Kevin Cossaboon, the managing member, tells WHCU it’s the culmination of a life’s work. 

Ithaca has two cannabis dispensaries. Cassaboon is anxious to see who will show up.

Cossaboon adds he’s putting everything he has into the new business, which will be open seven days a week beginning the first week of May.
