A week after the opening of New York’s first licensed dispensary, Cash Only returned to Housing Works Cannabis to make a purchase and sample the nonprofit's wares.

We wanted to know how regulated, taxed weed compared to the green from an underground shop nearby, so we bought an 1/8th of Gorilla Glue from both and did a THC taste test.
