Where To Find Medical & Recreational Weed In New York City

Discussing marijuana's legal status in New York, where to find it, and how to get a prescription for medical cannabis.

For tourists, perhaps one of the most intimidating cities on the planet is New York; from the neighborly rats to the constant foot traffic, it can all seem pretty hectic. Why not take things down a notch and relax with help from New York state’s recent cannabis laws, allowing you to possess and use the plant at your own leisure. Below, we’ve created a guide to help you find cannabis, recreational and medicinal, in New York City.

Is Weed Legal In New York?

Medical Marijuana has been legal in New York for quite some time, and its positive impact on patients may have been what spurred the state to adopt recreational legalization. It was about this time last year that the state had passed a bill to legalize recreational marijuana, and while it’s gained legal status since then, dispensaries are finally appearing after such a long transition period. However, most might not begin selling recreational goods until July 22.

If all of the above dispensaries don’t cut it (because they’re not recreational), don’t sweat because New York’s first-ever legal recreational dispensary is finally here. Empire Cannabis Club offers a concierge service to members, which falls under legal lines and allows the transfer of cannabis (acquired by skilled cultivators and distributors) through memberships without profit.
