A legal recreational cannabis dispensary in Bushwick is now open for business, making it the first dispensary in the neighborhood.

Emerald Dispensary, located on Suydam Street, attracted customers from across the five boroughs to check out the variety of products they have to offer. Some customers got to learn about new items as well from the “bud-istas” working behind the counter and on the floor.

“It's very important to buy from dispensaries, for the simple fact that everything is tested, regulated, and you can only but from New York farms,” said Ramon Roman, president of Emerald Dispensary.

No appointment is required at Emerald, and the dispensary only takes cash at this time.
