What We Carry
The Alchemy carries the usual range of adult-use categories: flower, vapes and carts, pre-rolls, edibles, concentrates, THC beverages, tinctures, topicals, CBD, and accessories. Within each category the specific products on the shelf come and go, so the best source for what is in stock right now is always the live menu, not a blog post.
A Note On Spring Cannabis In New York
New York's cultivation runs on a seasonal calendar. Outdoor sun-grown flower is harvested once a year in the fall. Greenhouse grows produce several harvests across the year. Indoor flower runs more or less continuously. Spring tends to bring greenhouse and indoor lots onto shelves, along with the first sun-grown lots that finished curing over the winter. So the spring menu usually carries a mix of all three cultivation methods, but exactly which lots land depends on the growers.
How To Keep Up With New Arrivals
A few easy ways to stay current:
Check the live menu before you come in, and pick your store so the stock matches the location.
Follow us on Instagram and TikTok, both @thealchemy.nyc, for new-arrival posts.
Come in and ask a budtender what is new that week. They handle the shelf every day and can point you to whatever just landed.
