New Yorkers With Marijuana Convictions Will Get First Retail Licenses

[Southpaw]

New York will give its first cannabis dispensary licenses to people who were convicted of marijuana-related offenses in the state.

What this man said... They need to give them a leg-up. Not just give them first dibs. Waive them fees, lower the tax rates... something. Otherwise, it's just a fuckin cash grab.

As a daily smoker, I don't know if I give a fuck about this considering all the different black owned businesses we need and we worried about weed? I imagine in NYC the start up cost on the low end 250K. I hope niggas don't think they are going to open rickety little shacks and start selling dime off the quater pound they just copped. Also you moving and storing alot of cash because banks won't fuck with you.

Knowing that the government will try the fuck shit, communities in New York need to come together and invest in the people who qualify for licenses. Invest and build an empire of weed shops before the Russians and Asians take it over like California. If people can go fund me a qt mil for a stripper who broke her face then this should be no issue.

We already have weed accessory shops/smoke shops.. literally the blueprint was already made.. so all you have to do is add the product from herbal to edibles to liquid herb and bam the people will come
