A pop-up market in New Paltz has all the trappings of a traditional farmers market, but this one is for selling marijuana. More like it are expected to pop-up across New York in the coming months. AielloTV reports.
Security checked IDs, but the pop-up event had all the trappings of a traditional farmers market - tents, tables, curious consumers and knowledgeable farmers.
"I'm happy to have somewhere where I can meet the people who grow my product and I know what I'm getting," said Dylan Moscoso. The event in New Paltz was New York's first pop-up sale of pot products. Despite the rain, customers lined up as four Hudson Valley farms prepared to make history. "They're excited as well, to see this turnout, their product moving," said Jay Peterson with Legacy Dispensary of Albany, which was founded by people who suffered under previous prohibitions on cannabis. The adults-only farmers' market represented a"boy how times have changed" moment. The Cannabis Growers Showcase took place right outside the old Village of New Paltz court, where over the years many were sentenced for simple pot possession.
The pop-ups are intended to help New York farmers who grew massive amounts of marijuana and are now sitting on a surplus.
