Game Changer: New NYC Dispensary Offers Dime Bags in Queens
Forbes contributor Janet Burns covered Good Grades' Queens launch and the introduction of an affordable dime-bag concept to the legal market. The piece framed the move as a deliberate answer to one of the biggest tensions in New York's adult-use rollout — that legal prices often sit far above what longtime cannabis consumers are used to paying. By offering small, low-cost packs alongside its full menu, Good Grades made legal, lab-tested cannabis reachable for everyday New Yorkers and used the storefront to introduce neighbors to the licensed market.

NYC's Good Grades Dispensary Is A Community Cornerstone
In a follow-up nearly a year later, Forbes revisited Good Grades to look at what changed after the dispensary settled into Jamaica Avenue. The coverage focused on the team's educational approach — staff trained to walk first-time customers through cannabinoids, terpenes, and dosing — and on a customer experience built around long conversations, not transactions. The piece highlighted continued commitment to affordable price points, an expanded product mix from licensed New York cultivators, and the role a single neighborhood dispensary can play in shifting how people relate to legal cannabis.

New York City's Newest Weed Dispensary Opens With Black Woman At Helm
NBC News spotlighted Good Grades' opening as a milestone for representation in New York's adult-use cannabis industry, focusing on Extasy James as one of the first Black women to lead a licensed NYC dispensary. The coverage placed the launch inside the broader CAURD program — New York's deliberate effort to license operators most impacted by prohibition first — and underscored why a Jamaica, Queens address mattered for equity in the rollout. The story framed Good Grades as proof that the promises behind the legal market can show up on a single block.

First NY Woman-Owned Marijuana Dispensary Opens In Queens
The Daily News covered Good Grades as the first woman-owned licensed marijuana dispensary to open in New York, anchoring the story in Queens and the broader push for ownership diversity in the new market. The piece noted the community reception on Jamaica Avenue, the regulatory backdrop of the CAURD program, and the significance of a flagship Queens location for a borough long underserved by early legal cannabis retail. It marked a major local-press moment for the launch.
