Durango's First Retail Pot Store Opens

DURANGO, Colo. (CBS4) - The first retail marijuana shop opened in Durango on Friday morning.

The store, Durango Organics and Wellness Center, is an existing medical pot dispensary.

"This has been a long road for us, and we definitely feel a sense of accomplishment with this," co-owner Jonny Radding told the Durango Herald. "We're really excited."

A second shop is licensed but won't start selling until mid-October.

Colorado voters approved recreational marijuana in 2012.
