A heated discussion broke out Monday night during a community board meeting about a possible marijuana dispensary opening in Williamsburg.
The dispensary is expected to open where the old Greenpoint Savings Bank is, along Manhattan Avenue.
Brooklyn residents presented a petition against the dispensary, which they say would be the largest in the state if it opens.
Meanwhile, the owner of the dispensary says he is willing to hear the community concerns and answer all questions they may have.
No resolutions were made on Monday night, as it was postponed to Nov. 25 at 6 p.m.
