The dark and gloomy weed store gets a makeover Marijuana legalization has had a host of very real consequences for the country: The neutering of a dangerous black market, the slow acknowledgement of alternative medicines, and an influx of jobs, taxes, and merchandise that has transformed America?s economy to the core. However, the change we can?t stop swooning over are the lush interiors of America?s emerging dispensary architecture.

These 10 interiors perfectly forecast a new design typology, coming soon to a neighborhood near you.
