If they have a license and go through all legal avenues why is there an issue. Like Liquor stores , Same thing. The community has many of them also. Using cannabis outside and or alcohol is a quality of life issue and should be handled by our law enforcement Officers. More often than not , these cannabis stores do attract unsavory customers shall I say.

Isn’t there another one opening right up the block by the laundromat?

Is the irony of this being next to a wine and liquor store lost here?

There is one on Myrtle on Seneca called Late Bloomers, great people own it. What about liquor stores and  bars that’s OK people driving drunk. I see nothing wrong with it

How far is it from the other one on Grand.

2nd one on grand in Maspeth

There’s a large one opening soon a few blocks further by 64th Street.

How about a list of the names of CB5 members that voted for this.

I believe there’s another one going to open down grand ave, on the corner by the triangle

I don't smoke or use edibles, so I have no skin in the game. But, why the outrage? It's a legal business. It's really no different than a liquor store, is it? People go there to make a purchase, the point of which is intoxication. I don't remember anyone complaining about liquor stores in the neighborhood. Now, smoking on the street - that should be illegal. I think if liquor and weed are both going to be allowed to be sold, then the same public consumption rules should apply. The difference between the two is that if I'm drinking a beer walking down the street, there isn't an odor that sticks to passers-by for ten minutes.

So what? It’s legal. Would you complain about a liquor store opening up? You have to be 21 to enter. If it bothers you, don’t shop there 🤷‍♀️

I don't know why people don't grow there own.. it's easy... if you can grow a tomato you can grow weed.. it's a weed God's creation

Come by where I am. There is literally one about every mile or so heading towards the Nassau border depending on which street you are on. Mind you I’m on the border of queens and Nassau.

That's fantastic news, ye ha

Well it’s door to door to a liquor store so I say fair game.. we have no argument against this one

CB5 has been making some bad decisions lately. What's going on ?

When are we going to finally wake up and realize grand ave and metropolitan ave is a commercial area. They need to add businesses there to bring revenue in. No other businesses go there because it’s a death trap and they rarely succeed. As time evolves everything changes this includes neighborhoods to think we can live in the same locations for generations is a thing of the past. We need to realize everything declines in time in city life. Older owner move to quality of life areas, past, or rent their homes. Renters are not owners and that is the issue that plaques many Queens areas.

And keep in mind who started all this…https://youtu.be/51jeGAjcYss?si=69REH7BSooeLOeE1

I don’t see why everyone is so upset about it you have to be 21 to go and there are plenty of liquor stores and bars all over. If you don’t like it then don’t go there!!!!

Sad comment on society

Since the legalization of cannabis became a thing, I am seeing more and more patients with cannabis use disorder and smelling it on all the kids outside GCHS, yet we have people in our own neighborhood clapping like trained seals for the placement of a pot shop where the American Legion once was. Sorry, but I don't want to live around these people. I have the smell of this shit coming through my wall as I type this.

It contributes to Schizophrenia in young people! Check the medical data.

What I don't understand..is that the owners of these stores will be making so much money from it .the other store has a sign 30 dollars a hour .These stores have to have security before it is a cash business..I don't think the feds..ok it so they can't get to use credit cards..IDK ..if I was opening up on one both spaces are huge ..so rent is high and wouldn't two near each other cut into each other busy?.. i

You've removed the tennis courts and add pickle ball? I've been playing tennis there with my family/friends for years. How unfair

What's the projected timeline?

What about the summer concerts?

Looks great

No more softball :(

So let’s just take away the softball field. Nice

Who makes these Decisions So ridiculous

Great, another rain garden that won’t be maintained!!

I'd rather see volleyball than basketball but other than that looks good
