EXPLORE NEW YORK'S CANNABIS CULTURE
Cannabis culture in New York has been growing rapidly in recent years, thanks in part to the state’s progressive attitude towards cannabis reform.
Marijuana is legal in New York since 2016, and recreational cannabis since 2021.
Whether you’re a resident or visiting New York for the first time, there are plenty of ways to enjoy cannabis in New York. Here are some of the best ways to explore cannabis culture in New York:
1. Visit a Dispensary
There are now dozens of dispensaries across New York State, so chances are good that there’s one near you. Dispensaries are the best place to buy cannabis, as they offer a wide variety of products and strains to choose from. When visiting a dispensary, be sure to bring your ID and medical marijuana card (if you have one). Most dispensaries also accept cash, but some may also offer other payment options such as debit or credit cards.
2. Check out a Delivery Service
If you don’t want to (or can’t) visit a dispensary in person, you can always order your cannabis online from a delivery service. Delivery services are similar to dispensaries, but they will bring the products directly to your door. Again, you’ll need to have your ID and medical marijuana card ready when placing an order with a delivery service. And like dispensaries, most delivery services also accept cash, but some may offer other payment options as well.
3. Go to a Cannabis Cafe
Cannabis cafes are becoming increasingly popular in New York, and they’re a great place to enjoy cannabis in a social setting. These cafes typically offer a selection of cannabis-infused food and drink, as well as a variety of CBD products. Most cannabis cafes require guests to be 21 years of age or older, so be sure to bring your ID if you plan on visiting one. And as with dispensaries and delivery services, cash is typically the only form of payment accepted at cannabis cafes.
4. Attend a Cannabis Event
There are often cannabis-themed events taking place across New York State, so be sure to check out what’s going on in your area. These events can range from educational seminars to live music concerts, so there’s sure to be something for everyone.
