Soon you'll be able to legally buy pot at this old Chase Bank in Union Square.
The first legal dispensary for recreational pot in New York opened Dec. 28 in Manhattan, 4,400-square foot corner building at Broadway and Astor Place, which used to be a Gap store. It marked a long-awaited launch of a marijuana industry that could become one of the country's most lucrative.
It wasn't immediately clear what items the Union Square shop would be selling. At the city's other dispensary, the Housing Works Cannabis Company, customers can find a range of prices and products, from $20 for an edibles container to a"flower" or plant — which you can roll into a joint — for between $40-$95. Cannabis vape kits will also sell for $95.Gov. Kathy Hochul announced on Dec.
In the coming months, the state is expected to issue an additional 139 licenses, with about 900 applicants waiting to learn their fate. The state reserved its first round of retail licenses for applicants with marijuana convictions or their relatives, plus some nonprofit groups. It also planned a $200 million public-private fund to aid “social equity” applicants.
