Inside Brooklyn’s first marijuana dispensary
Your newest weed dealer just set up shop in the shadow of the Barclays Center.
But passers-by could be forgiven for assuming that the new store at 202 Flatbush Ave. is an upscale spa. Inside the sleek, ground-floor retail space, among the nostalgia-stirring photos of old New York and vintage bottles, you’ll find weathered paperbacks on shelves next to white candles and succulent plants. Natural surfaces abound, including wood-clad walls and a handmade glass mosaic by a Bushwick artist.
With the feel of a modern-day apothecary — and the perpetual presence of a licensed pharmacist — the store is now the home of Brooklyn’s first medical-marijuana dispensary.
