Brown Budda: Michelin Star Weed in Southampton!

A pot shop promising "Michelin standard" products in tony Southampton says it will finally open its doors this week after months of red tape and legal wrangling — daring local officials to try to shut it down.

Brown Budda one of the first dispensaries to be licensed in the state and the first to be approved on Long Island in 2022 — vowed to open its doors Wednesday with or without final approval from Southampton after state regulators voided the town's restrictive cannabis laws as illegal. "We are very confident we have the weight of the law in our favor," said Brown Budda lawyer Christian Killoran in a statement.

Company founder and CEO Marquis Hayes, hailing the shop's products as akin to the finest haute cuisine offered at Michelin-starred restaurants, added, "On November 12, Brown Budda New York rolls out the green carpet to a Michelin standard of cannabis, premium quality, real intention, and respect for the plant."

Killoran revealed that the shop passed a state inspection at the end of last month and got the green light from New York's Office of Cannabis Management last week to open and begin offering adult-use cannabis products. The dispensary hopes to set a new Michelin standard in cannabis retail, emphasizing craftsmanship, compliance, and luxury service.

Southampton officials meanwhile insist the dispensary still lacks the proper local permits, and without them, could face further legal action that would send them back to court if it dares to open its doors.
