The second legal dispensary opens in New York City on Tuesday, and the governor says its the first pot shop run by someone"previously criminalized by cannabis prohibition."
The first round of marijuana retail licenses were greenlit three dozen businesses, making way for the first legal dispensary to open last month off Broadway, also in Manhattan. New York reserved its first round of licenses for applicants with marijuana convictions or their relatives, plus some nonprofit groups.
