    Everybody out here enjoying their legal weed at the expense of myself & others who’ve had our lives negatively impacted. Think about us everytime you set foot in these dispensaries.

    Pennsylvania needs to SOONNNNNNN



  18. David Motes on September 25, 2022 at 6:49 am

    Guaranteeing someone a license does not guarantee success. I believe that if you put in the work, you have a fighting chance. That’s just the nature of business itself. I wish everyone success. Unfortunately, not everyone will have it.

    I wont be spending a dime in these places. As i said in my last comment, im 1 of those folks thats been arrested, jailed & has a criminal record for this stuff so i dont see much reason to be excited over this being legal. Its bittersweet, if anything.



  36. Luke Lombard on September 25, 2022 at 7:17 am

    MARIJUANA  AND CANABIS DOESNT HELP WITH HEART ATTACKS AND DOESNT MATTER WHAT AGE THAT YOU REALLY AND SOME POOR EXCUSES  !

    Connecticut needs to get on board. Was legalized over a year ago and you still can’t buy cannabis . Shameful



  45. le th on September 25, 2022 at 7:27 am

    Narcissists
    Borderlines
    Antisocials
    Sociopaths
    Psychopaths
    Are all THRILLED to be one step closer to legalized drug use.



  46. Luis Ruiz on September 25, 2022 at 7:27 am

    As a smoker for 24 years, fellow New Jersey citizens, let’s get high and not worry about the D E A.



  47. BlindMellowJelly on September 25, 2022 at 7:29 am
