Reply to comment by The_CerealDefense in NYC’s first legal recreational weed dispensary to open in East Village on Dec. 29 by keefhernandz

It was the same process in every state. And every state is doing just fine.

Why tf are people so negative about such an amazing thing happening. Sheesh.

And only 22 shops will open in Manhattan. Fking stupid. Should just let as many open as they want as long as they follow guidelines

It is not the same process as every state, it's a much worse process. Arizona legalized recreational marijuana in November 2020 and had granted licenses to dispensaries that were open and able to do business by February 2021.

There are a multitude of other states that have set an easy to follow template of how to roll things out safely, quickly and effectively and there is no excuse for the bumbled, slow rollout that the state is stumbling through.

This will eventually get better as more shops start to open up. I'm excited.

I agree, a bunch of complaining and not enough celebrating. This is amazing news for people like me who stopped buying street weed after I smoked some laced shit and had one of the worst panic attacks in my life.
