The state's first legal sale of recreational marijuana will be made in Greenwich Village.
All of this is an attempt to begin to heal the damage done by incarcerating people with marijuana-related convictions. First, New York decriminalized weed, then it legalized it. But many people believe the repairs are not done yet.
Regardless of equity, it is clear that the sale of legal cannabis in the state of New York will be a success. The first official sale will be made Thursday, at 11:45 a.m., following a press conference attended by the Office of Cannabis Management Executive Director Chris Alexander.The dispensary is located at 750 Broadway in the Astor Place neighborhood, and on Thursday it will be serving patrons until 7:10 p.m. Moving forward, Housing Works Cannabis Co.'s hours will be from 11 a.m. until 7 p.m. daily.
