    Its a shame that our county executive has chosen tax greed and let this happen in nassau it is a step backwards in the quality of life for all residents
    This is one thing nassau county did not need at all the people should speak up and look to get this shut down immediately

    8/2023 Ohio: We’re hoping they legalize it soon here, too. However, many drive to Michigan and bring it back. ( Which technically is illegal if you are caught with it in your car). Not a problem as there are many unknown street dealers, the rest of us have been buying it from, since the 1970s. Ohio has medical marijuana dispensaries,…..however the weed sold in those shops is more costly than the weed our black market dealers are selling it for, ( or so I have heard). I’m old, and unwell and qualify for the medical variety, however I am also poor, barely surviving on my fixed income from Social Security. The upside: "Today’s weed is stronger or more potent, than the weed we bought in the 1970s,….unless we had connections to weed smuggled into the USA from Thailand, & Vietnam.

    Can’t wait to go even though, apparently i’m letting down America…or something.

    Police has arrested me three times for smoking marijuana previously, now that is legal and you can buy it in a store U.S. immigration suspends my work authorization and they want me to deport back in my country after living almost ten years in America., this is fucking unjust, very very much unjustšŸ˜”šŸ˜ šŸ˜

    Lowered expectations from what the founding fathers had planned…

    This place was a big letdown.

    All right, where are the rest of the stores now this is a year ago.
    And though I love strian starsā€¦ letā€™s get at least a couple other dispensaries in Long Island.

    Another nail in the coffin of America. A doped out populous along with financial and moray decay. What’s next?

    Getting arrested for cannabis suck. Let me tell you Iā€™ve been arrested numerous times and Iā€™m white the day that I see. This makes me so happy that you cannot get all rested no longer and I could buy legally.

    Great story. I say shut down all liquor stores and replace them with cannabis dispensary’s, alcohol makes people very violent,, then they get behind the wheel of their vehicles then wind up crashing. Weed brings peace and love ā˜®ļø AMERICA has become Weed Nation !!!

    Get ready for a boosted crime rate.
