High Dankery is Opening on 5th Ave in Bay Ridge
Peter N. shared this photo.
Another cannabis dispensary hung their sign in Bay Ridge. High Dankery hung their sign at 7815 – 5th Avenue.
I wasn’t familiar with the term “dankery” for “marijuana dealer.”
High Dankery has not received a NYS license yet.
This weed dispensary is allowed to set up next door to Tutor Time Daycare because the daycare is on the 2nd floor of the building. The NYS Law says that the school/daycare has to occupy the whole building. The entrance, where parents put their strollers is right there on the first floor:
Senator Andrew Gounardes must have felt that this was okay because he did not change the law. Community Board 10 couldn’t fight back because Gounardes did not make sure the law was correct and give communities oversight in situations like this.
The owner of High Dankery appeared at the December Community Board 10 Meeting and was very straightforward. Info here:
At least this owner showed up for the Community Board meeting – the other one didn’t. When someone gets a liquor license they show up to the community board meeting to get approved.
While many of you may have wanted a different type of business here, Senator Andrew Gounardes wants dispensaries in our community. If Andrew didn’t, he would have increased the distance that dispensaries could be added to a community.
At a Community Board 10 Meeting, it was revealed that these dispensaries are targeting older, white women. Why didn’t Senator Gounardes know this? By now Senator Gounardes should have taken action so our seniors are not targeted!
Now people can get a job as a Budtender at High Dankery. See job:

The store was used to be Brooklyn Smokes and before that it was a beautiful store called: Things on Third.
