The first legal dispensary for recreational marijuana in New York rung up its first sales on Thursday, opening up what is expected to be one of the country’s most lucrative markets for cannabis.

“This location is a perfect location. We’re between the West Village, the East Village,” King said at a news conference Thursday morning. “Tourists can come by here easily. So we think we’re going to bring up a lot of sales here.”

Housing Works officials said that the dispensary has already received more than 2,000 reservations to make purchases. “We are the financial center of the world, the greatest city on earth, and I think people will now come here to enjoy all types things,” she said.

Government keeping everyone stoned to better control them

Whole neighborhoods already reek from pot. This isn't going to help.

I hope they have better government weeed than Canada!!!!!!!😭✋🏿✋🏿✋🏿💀💀😭😭😭✋🏿💀

Exactly what NYC needs. Will this bring comfort to the homeless ? Mentally I’ll ? Most definitely will slow down the crime that is rampant throughout the city. Seems like a win win , doesn’t it ?

We’ve had them for years in Toronto, they’re everywhere, tho mostly empty or closed up. Lots of people lost their shirts.

If I lived in New York, I would definitely need medicinal marijuana.

witchestruth Mean, back in the dark ages states like Kentucky still make counties beg to allow... alcohol sales. To adults. 😏

Next to open is a legal cocaine hub

Slippery slope.

It is none of any law enforcement or governmental agency’s business what we use. Do you understand me?

And can you blame New Yorkers for wanting to get stoned?

Only if it’s cheaper than what’s on the street…

More dope heads. Great.

Time to make it legal at the federal legal and unblock all the financial restrictions

Let’s see if they actually tax it appropriately or if people will just keep using their black market dealers instead

and one of the most lucrative for criminals to rob…

Good job New York! Now if y’all would stop being so damn authoritarian when it comes to the 2A…
