    I wont be spending a dime in these places. As i said in my last comment, im 1 of those folks thats been arrested, jailed & has a criminal record for this stuff so i dont see much reason to be excited over this being legal. Its bittersweet, if anything.

    So a majority is owned by a minority that reflects the population? Either they aren’t a minority in regards to the population, or, a majority minority owned would not be equitable, nor would it reflect the population if they are In fact a minority in the population

    It’s 2022. Why is weed still an issue? It’s gotten me out of so many slumps. Wise use heals the mind.

    Still waiting on New Hampshire to get with the program. At least Maine and Massachusetts are right next door.

    This is pretty awesome. It’s like seeing aliens before I die.



  14. Jesse Carliner on May 14, 2022 at 12:10 am

    Weed is legal in NY they just haven’t figured things out to the degree of having legal establishments selling it. While there may be some questions about bringing in weed that hasn’t been taxed by NY, it is doubtful there will be any real energy put into enforcement.



  15. whoo else on May 14, 2022 at 12:12 am

    Everybody out here enjoying their legal weed at the expense of myself & others who’ve had our lives negatively impacted. Think about us everytime you set foot in these dispensaries.



  16. Mad Max on May 14, 2022 at 12:13 am

    That’s how it should be…And that’s how it should have been decades ago.



  17. Eric Smith on May 14, 2022 at 12:13 am

    Please get it going in Virginia

    *Marijuana: Good* 👍
    *NJ State Troopers: BAD* 👎



  20. William Murray on May 14, 2022 at 12:17 am

    What’s the legal limit for driving? Do no smoking and smoke free zone rules apply? What makes NJ government think it regulate an industry that CA can’t?

    Yes exactly what society needs legalized drugs our youth isnt stupid enough the government wants to profit on societies stupidity and create walking zombies



  34. E5m on May 14, 2022 at 12:38 am

    It never made sense to have alcohol legal and marijuana illegal. Marijuana is the lesser of the two evils.



  35. Wanda red bearded dragon care tips on May 14, 2022 at 12:39 am

    Screw buying it !where can you smoke it? They got you!!



  36. T m on May 14, 2022 at 12:40 am

    Can I get my money back from the government for all the times they arrested me and I had to bond out, or the time they put me on probation for a joint and I lost my car, will any of that be given back to me….🤔



  40. yours truly on May 14, 2022 at 12:46 am

    Why not every state, that would be nice 🤔✌️



  41. Kyle Anderson on May 14, 2022 at 12:47 am

    I bet evry single one of those people had a great time and socialized vs alcohol there would have been at least one incident



  42. David Motes on May 14, 2022 at 12:48 am

    Guaranteeing someone a license does not guarantee success. I believe that if you put in the work, you have a fighting chance. That’s just the nature of business itself. I wish everyone success. Unfortunately, not everyone will have it.

    CGC, TLRY, CRON…
