Planet Nugg becomes third marijuana dispensary to open in East Farmingdale
Recreational marijuana was legalized for adults 21 and older in the state in 2021.
Under the law, local municipalities where dispensaries are located collect a percentage of the tax revenue. The Town of Babylon has so far collected more than $1.8 million from cannabis sales in East Farmingdale, with the latest check received two weeks ago. The money is being used for the construction and operation of a chemical dependency treatment center in North Amityville.
