A national medical marijuana dispensary brand is planting its roots in Forest Hills.
Curaleaf New York will become the second pot dispensary to set up shop in Queens when it opens a 3,000-square-foot storefront at 107-18 70th Road this summer, owners announced Tuesday.
The dispensary brand, which operates medical marijuana joints across the country, is slated to open the site "in early summer" between Queens Boulevard and Austin Street, a Curaleaf spokesperson confirmed. The site was chosen for its easy access to public transportation, including the Long Island Rail Road and E, F, M and R subway lines.
The new dispensary will serve medical pot in the form of capsules, tablets, tinctures, oils and other forms to New York City patients suffering from cancer, chronic pain and other conditions permitted under the State Department of Health's medial marijuana program, a Curaleaf spokesperson said.
