How to choose a dispensary in NYC.
New York has a growing number of licensed dispensaries. Here is how to think about which one is right for you, and where The Alchemy fits.
What to look for.
There is no single best dispensary in New York. The one that works for you comes down to a few practical things.
- A licensed store.Start here. New York lists every licensed retailer at cannabis.ny.gov, so you can check before you shop.
- The menu.Look at what a store actually carries. A live online menu is the easiest way to see what is in stock before you go.
- The staff.A budtender who takes the time to understand what you are after makes the whole trip better. Ask questions.
- Location.The most convenient store for you is often the one you will keep going back to.
