Give NowA tin of watermelon gummies and an eighth of weed labeled “Banana Runtz” were the first products sold in New York’s first legal recreational marijuana market, which got off the ground with a single dispensary on Thursday in the East Village.
Regular customers started lining up around 12:30 p.m., and by the time the store opened, the line wrapped around the block and extended past the Astor Place Starbucks. For its opening, the shop also had a DJ, snacks made by a company seeking a marijuana processing license, and a table offering “dab-ucation” on marijuana concentrates and different ways to consume them.
As if every block in NYC didn’t already absolutely reek of marijuana.
