New York’s first legal dispensary for recreational marijuana opens doors
Mayor Eric Adams hails ‘major milestone’ as former Gap store in Lower Manhattan sells variety of cannabis-related products
From the long-empty husk of a Manhattan retail chain, new life blooms – in the form of the state of New York’s first legal dispensary for recreational marijuana, which was set to open on Thursday at 4.20pm.
Housing Works Cannabis Company will roll out retail adult-use weed sales at a shop on Broadway and Astor Place in Lower Manhattan – a former Gap outpost – with items such as edibles from $20 and flowers from $40, according to NBC New York.
