Williamsburg will get its first Medical Marijuana Dispensary: Remedy Dispensary will open up shop below Pod Hotel on Metropolitan Avenue. 

According to the Commercial Observer, the dispensary managed by Valley Agriceuticals, signed a 10-year lease for a 3,800-square-foot space at 178 North 4th St with the help of Katz & Associates, which brokered the deal. They’ll be joining a host of retail spaces at the base of the Williamsburg hotel. 

In July 2014, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature enacted the Compassionate Care Act to provide a comprehensive, safe and effective medical marijuana program that meets the needs of New Yorkers. As of now, Valley Agriceuticals is one of only 10 companies licensed by the state of New York to grow and dispense medical marijuana. This will be the company’s fourth location, with two locations in upstate New York and one on Long Island.
