10 Best Dispensaries in New York

The second largest State in the U.S., New York is home to arguably the center of Global finance and fashion; New York City.  In 2022, the State of New York become largest east coast State to legalize recreational cannabis.  Although medical marijuana has been available in NYC, there were sparse dispensary options and limited products only available with a medical card.

Truth be told, New York, specifically NYC and the Burroughs have never been lacking weed.  Way before dispensaries, black market trap weed has always been available through highly organized services providing hit-or-miss flower and crazy high dose edibles via weed delivery in NYC.  This is generally in the form of a dude who pulls up with a backpack full of herb, and other entanglements.  And with the right plug, the weed can actually be pretty good.  But its not lab tested and pricey.  Although not exactly legal.  Unfortunately medical pot in NY could not compete.  But adult use dispensaries in NYC, as well as upstate and throughout the State are a game-changer to New Yorkers.

NYC sets sets global trends and innovates.  We think New York dispensaries will innovate the cannabis retail and delivery experience.  Weed lounges in NYC will be an experience to behold.  These will be a hit with locals, and millions of visitors each year.
