Thirty years ago, Havoc was rapping about running from the cops in Queensbridge. On June 6, he stood at 25-15 Broadway in Astoria and cut the ribbon on a legal weed shop he owns, two neighborhoods over from the housing project that raised him. “Thirty years ago, you couldn’t have told me that we would have been able to sell cannabis legally,” he said at the grand opening, per QNS. “We used to be running from the cops, getting criminal records, being shut out of the conversation, and now we are bridging the gap between cannabis and community.”
