NYC Dispensary

Licensed-by-the-state NYC Dispensaries , also known as recreational retail stores, are brick and mortar locations in New York City that are authorized to sell cannabis to adults. To ensure a safe and transparent purchasing experience, retail dispensaries must be registered with the state’s Office of Cannabis Management (OCM). To verify a store’s legitimacy, look for a blue and white sticker on the front that contains a QR code.

In addition to displaying OCM’s approved signage, each dispensary must offer secure and child-resistant storage containers for the purchase of cannabis products, as well as inventory tracking systems that monitor sales and tax liability in real-time. Additionally, licensees cannot advertise giveaways, discounts, price reductions, or points-based reward systems for purchasing cannabis products.
