MedMen, a cannabis retail company that operates a chain of slick, high-end marijuana dispensaries in California and Nevada (and now New York) has opened a new flagship store on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue — just in time for 420.
It's a major bet on the future of marijuana legalization in New York. And contrary to what you might expect, being inside the store is a high-end retail experience.
Take a look inside:
MedMen's flagship store, is situated on one of the most famous shopping streets in the world. It's just down the street from Barneys.

The store looks more like a sleek Apple store than what you might expect from a dispensary.
