All Good Opens First Legal Dispensary in Flatbush CB17: Wellness, Community & Locally-Grown Cannabis April 11

A Historic Moment for Flatbush CB17 and Brooklyn Cannabis Culture

Why this matters: First licensed dispensary in the neighborhood

April 11, 2025, marks a milestone in Flatbush CB17 history: the grand opening of All Good, the first licensed cannabis dispensary in the neighborhood near Brooklyn College. Legal, accessible, and community-rooted cannabis is now available for adults seeking wellness, education, and elevated experiences.

Bridging the gap between legacy and legal markets

All Good isn’t just about sales — it’s about legitimacy, respect, and transition. The dispensary embraces the history of cannabis culture in Brooklyn, while uplifting local growers and small producers who are finally getting a seat at the table.

Meet the Founders: A Veteran and a Wellness Advocate

Sean Robinson’s journey from Army veteran to cannabis advocate

Co-founder Sean Robinson’s story is one of resilience and purpose. An Army veteran with decades of cannabis cultivation experience, Sean’s passion for plant-based healing began after witnessing the devastating impacts of prescription drug overuse — including the loss of his mother. Since then, he has been a leading advocate for safe alternatives and was even a vocal presence at New York City Hall during cannabis legalization efforts. Now, his journey culminates in creating a dispensary that serves people, not profit.

Shannon Riley’s passion for yoga, women’s health, and plant medicine

Shannon Riley brings deep compassion and a wellness-driven vision to All Good. A yoga teacher with over 20 years of experience, she’s worked nationwide to train educators and help women improve their health through mindfulness and movement. Her role as CEO blends education, empowerment, and the belief that cannabis can enhance not just the body, but the spirit too. Her dream? To expand All Good into a holistic wellness hub — complete with teacher training.

What Makes All Good Different?

Small farm and microbusiness product focus

All Good proudly champions New York’s small cannabis farmers and microbusinesses. Their shelves are curated with care — no mass-produced, corporate cannabis. Every strain, edible, and tincture tells a story of independent growers who’ve cultivated not just quality, but intention. Supporting All Good means supporting a localized, sustainable cannabis ecosystem.

No corporate cannabis — just craft, clean cannabis

Forget flashy packaging and celebrity brands. All Good is rooted in authenticity. Their mission is to connect people with cannabis that’s clean, effective, and grown with care. That’s why you’ll only find lab-tested products from ethical, state-licensed producers — not multi-state operators. It’s cannabis by New Yorkers, for New Yorkers.

Friendly, Knowledgeable Budtenders You Can Trust

The team at All Good brings years of cannabis knowledge and a passion for helping people find what works for them. While not every budtender is from Flatbush, several familiar faces from the neighborhood are part of the crew. Whether you’re a curious first-timer or a lifelong enthusiast, you’ll be guided by thoughtful professionals who value your wellness and understand the power of good plant medicine.

Education First: Empowering New Cannabis Consumers

Knowledge is the key to safe, positive experiences

All Good is more than just a place to buy cannabis — it’s a place to learn. For those new to cannabis, navigating strains, doses, and formats can feel overwhelming. That’s why All Good prioritizes education as a core part of its mission. With friendly, informative budtenders and easy-to-understand resources, first-time consumers can shop with confidence and leave empowered, not confused.

Workshops, events, and one-on-one support

Plans are in place to host regular community events such as “Cannabis 101” workshops, product demos, wellness talks, and Q&A sessions. Whether you’re wondering how THC and CBD affect the body, or how to incorporate edibles into your self-care routine, All Good is committed to guiding you through the process step by step.

Smashing myths and reducing stigma

Dispelling outdated narratives around cannabis is essential for community growth. All Good offers judgment-free education that replaces fear with facts. Whether you’re a parent, veteran, elder, or student, their goal is to shift the conversation from taboo to truth.

Clean Cannabis with a Cause

Healing-centered, not hype-driven

Every product sold at All Good meets strict standards for quality, safety, and sourcing. But beyond clean cannabis, the store’s mission includes healing the harms of past policies by offering inclusive, equitable access to plant medicine. The team supports restorative justice and believes cannabis should be part of a broader wellness revolution.

Cannabis and yoga: a mindful match

Mindful cannabis use can enhance focus, awareness, and relaxation — all foundational elements of yoga and meditation.

Creating a movement, not just a moment

All Good aims to redefine what a dispensary can be. With plans to host community classes, breathework, and wellness events, it’s more than just a storefront — it’s a community grounded in healing, inclusion, and growth.

Access for students, families, and long-time locals

Being near Brooklyn College and Triangle Junction means All Good is rooted in the daily lives of real Brooklynites. Whether you’re a student navigating finals, a parent seeking alternatives to pharmaceuticals, or a long-time local looking for legacy-quality flower, All Good is here for you.

Bringing the community into the conversation

This isn’t a drop-in corporate shop — it’s a business built for and by the neighborhood it serves.
