Puffalo Dreams, a legal dispensary, opened on Niagara Falls Boulevard in Buffalo. But NYS is concerned about all of the illegal shops popping up.
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Puffalo Dreams is the seventh legal dispensary to open in Western New York since the state legalized recreational marijuana in 2021.
“It means a lot to us. We’re definitely happy to be the forefront of this industry,” said Bee Duangtavilay, one of the co-owners of the dispensary.
Bee and her business partner Jamie Donato Rivera first applied for the license in November 2022. Even though they were awarded the license in April of 2023, numerous lawsuits slowed down the process.
Duangtavilay and Rivera remained persistent with their goal of opening the legal dispensary.
“Being women-owned, we did face some difficulties, but it has its pluses and minuses,” Duangtavilay said. “So you just have to be strong and definitely stand your ground.”
