While a lawsuit holds up the state cannabis dispensary licensing process, Elevate ADK’s new storefront in the Saranac Lake plaza on Lake Flower Avenue still can’t open as Saranac Lake’s first recreational cannabis dispensary. Emery, the general manager, got a permit approved by the village development board in June and got an inspection from the state Office of Cannabis Management on Aug. 3. He had been planning to open on Aug. 12 when, just a few days before, a state Supreme Court judge issued a temporary restraining order while overseeing a cannabis license-related lawsuit, blocking the state from issuing permits until the case is resolved.
