Brewster company plans Main Street location 

The state Cannabis Control Board on Tuesday (Sept. 10) approved a cannabis retail license for a Brewster company that has said it intends to operate in Cold Spring. 

Pleasant View Harvest LLC received a microbusiness license, a catch-all permit that allows an applicant to grow cannabis, process the trimmings into distillates and rosins, and sell buds, extracts and edibles. 

The company, which declined on Wednesday (Sept. 11) to comment on its plans, notified the Cold Spring Village Board in November that it planned to open a retail business at 137 Main St. 

The board also awarded a processor license to Two Puffs and Pass LLC, a company registered at an address in Garrison. Processors extract concentrated cannabis and its compounds and blend, infuse and manufacture them for resale.

Cold Spring residents voted in 2021 to allow retail sales of cannabis but not on-site consumption. Nelsonville and Philipstown opted out. 

Cannabis licenses were earlier issued to two Beacon applicants: LotusWorks, at 261 Main St., received a microbusiness license, and Kamel Jamal, a restaurateur who owns Beacon Bread Co. and Ziatun, received a permit for a retail dispensary at 463 Main St.

In 2021, the state gave towns, villages and cities the option to ban cannabis sales and/or on-site consumption. The Philipstown Town Board voted to prohibit both, but that decision did not apply to its two villages, Cold Spring and Nelsonville. In Cold Spring, the board decided to hold a vote, and residents approved cannabis sales, 481-439, but rejected on-site consumption. The Nelsonville board voted to ban both. In Beacon, the City Council allowed both. I added links to our earlier coverage in the story.

There are two liquor stores in town — a much more dangerous drug — and bars and restaurants with on-premises consumption, and alcohol sold at the grocery store. Tobacco is ubiquitous, not to mention stores selling hemp derivatives that are barely regulated.

All cannabis dispensaries require ID viewed and scanned to get in the door and again to receive your purchase. There is no external advertising, no loitering inside or out. These are rigorously regulated small businesses that deserve the right to do business. It will not even be noticeable. [via Facebook]
