Good Grades, the first cannabis dispensary to open in Queens, New York, is also the first woman-owned dispensary to be financially supported by the state’s social equity investment fund. And the Queens Borough president was the first customer.
Queens Borough President Donovan Richards makes the first purchase with Good Grades Co-Owner Extasy James.The opening of Good Grades cannabis dispensary in Queens, New York, on Thursday made many historic firsts. Among the first six retail dispensaries in New York state, it is the first to open in Queens and the first woman-owned dispensary to be financially supported by the state’s social equity investment fund.
The grand opening of the storefront in Jamaica’s storied shopping hub was “unbelievable” and “high-energy,” Extasy James said. As an attorney and a legal advocate for minority business owners, Michael James first helped his clients apply for the license. But because of other family members who have faced the criminal legal system, including Extasy James’ father, who was deported for a cannabis offense, Michael James discussed applying with his family and decided to apply with his cousin.
