New York City’s First Legal Marijuana Dispensary Opens to Animal Testing: Mayor Eric Adams Proclaims ‘Major Milestone’
In a groundbreaking move, New York City has become the first major metropolitan area to open a dispensary for recreational marijuana that also offers animal testing. Mayor Eric Adams hailed the move as a “major milestone” as the former Gap store in Lower Manhattan began selling a variety of cannabis-related products—including products that have been tested on animals.
The cannabis-testing facility, which is run by the New York State Department of Health, offers a wide range of services, including both pre- and post-marketing studies. The testing covers a variety of effects, including pain, anxiety, and addiction.
“This is a major step forward for animal rights in New York City,” Adams said. “By providing a safe, legal way for animals to be tested and studied, we are helping ensure that products are safe for both humans and animals alike.”
Animal-rights activists have long opposed the use of animals in testing and research, arguing that it is cruel and unnecessary. However, the Mayor’s office maintains that the testing is necessary to ensure the safety of the products being sold at the dispensary.
“Our first priority is the safety of our citizens,” Adams said. “We are committed to the highest standards of safety and quality, and that means making sure the products we sell are safe for both humans and animals.”
Animal-rights activists, however, remain unconvinced.
“This is a travesty,” said PETA spokesperson, Molly Johnson. “Animals should not be used as lab rats for human consumption. We urge Mayor Adams to reconsider his decision and put an end to this cruel practice.”
The dispensary is expected to open its doors to the public later this month.
