    Dispensary weed is horrible!! Omg it’s outdoor stuff that they charge indoor prices. Wow NYS is coming out of the gates swinging hard huh? Stay under ground it’s cheaper and way better.

    tobacco and alcohol that cause cancer leading to death have been legal for decades!
    Not to mention nationwide US legal guns available to anyone!
    The legalization of cannabis would bring great benefits to everyone, the government would have more tax revenues and consumers would feel safer, as illegal sale on the streets is eliminated!
    Cannabis also plays an important role in the medical field, as an alternative to opiates that cause serious complications and addiction, yet cannabis is still looked down upon!
    This means that those in government do not see the benefits it brings and completely ignore the progress

    Great idea non profit.
    New york go for it..
    I live in philippines where 1 seed can get you life in prison.
    Meth or shabu is seen as not as bad as weed.
    I disagree highly.
    Philippines 50yrs. Behind the world.

    As expensive as this city is, New Yorkers deserve lower prices that will enable them to save & invest in the American Dream. It isn’t as if viable, much more cost effective options don’t exist, I assure you they do.



  8. @spencer519 on February 13, 2024 at 1:38 am

    It is set up to fail in Newyork and it will, people are to greedy.



  9. @allstarprintlab2675 on February 13, 2024 at 1:40 am

  14. @johnholliday8268 on February 13, 2024 at 1:46 am

    How racist of NY to only give licenses to black criminals, instead of White entrepreneurs.

  18. @louielouie22 on February 13, 2024 at 1:51 am

    What does a man have to do to find good quality weed?? The dispenseries have garbage that’s way way over priced. My underground people are flaking out on me with this new rapper weed that sucks. Stick to your rapping bros.



  19. @bksson2818 on February 13, 2024 at 1:51 am

    IN ALL THE STATES THAT HAVE LEGALIZED THIS πŸ’© VERY FEW ARE AFRICAN AMERICAN R A C I S M AND RACIST RICH GREEDY WHITE PEOPLE WHO ARE BUYING DISPENSARIES WHILE BLACK PEOPLE HAD TO GO TO JAIL FOR HAVING WEED. πŸ‘ŽπŸΎπŸ‘ŽπŸΎπŸ‘ŽπŸΎπŸ‘ŽπŸΎπŸ‘ŽπŸΎπŸ‘ŽπŸΎπŸ‘ŽπŸΎπŸ‘ŽπŸΎπŸ‘ŽπŸΎπŸ‘ŽπŸΎπŸ’©πŸ’©πŸ’©πŸ’©πŸ’©πŸ’©πŸ’©πŸ’©πŸ’©πŸ’©πŸ’©πŸ–•πŸΎ

    Greed, corruption, fraud , taxes . The moral decline of this country.

  26. @negriljerkbar4626 on February 13, 2024 at 1:53 am

    Bs. Weed criminals will get the license 1st. No weed convict can afford a quarter mil or $250k license fee.

    Cannabis will cure Soles, while fast food is destroying soles…



  30. @bmwocanada3989 on February 13, 2024 at 2:01 am

    New York’s economic recovery could be significantly boosted by the legal cannabis market, which could create new jobs, build wealth, and increase state and local tax revenue.



  31. @quartytypo on February 13, 2024 at 2:02 am

    Don’t think of this as New York progress. It’s a sign of the city’s decline.



  32. @tylerhoward608 on February 13, 2024 at 2:07 am

    This is not a win



  33. @iliketacos6067 on February 13, 2024 at 2:07 am

    1st legal shop after the habibis 1,000,000 shops.



  42. @joeg5414 on February 13, 2024 at 2:24 am

    What would make them thinking opening only 1 store in a city of millions was a good idea? πŸ€” I was in Denver when they legalized and we had dozens of shops on opening day. That wasn’t enough either. Wasn’t a dispensary in town without a 2 hour wait for weeks
