Taking Cannabis On Metro-North
This part trips people up, so it is worth being clear. New York adult-use cannabis is legal for adults 21 and over to possess and carry within New York State. If your train stays inside New York, you can carry sealed, properly packaged product home.
The catch is state lines. Crossing into another state with cannabis violates federal law, even if both states have adult-use programs. The New Haven Line crosses into Connecticut, and Amtrak routes south cross several state lines. If your trip leaves New York, plan to consume here before you board, or buy from a licensed retailer in your destination state.
Consumption is also prohibited inside MTA stations, on platforms, and on the trains themselves.
Buying At A Licensed Dispensary
Cannabis sales are for adults 21 and over, and you need a valid government photo ID. New York's daily purchase limit is commonly cited as 3 ounces of flower or 24 grams of concentrate, and state taxes apply at checkout.
There is no licensed dispensary inside Grand Central Terminal, and many of the smoke shops nearby are unlicensed. The Office of Cannabis Management licenses adult-use retail in New York, and you can confirm any retailer at cannabis.ny.gov. Licensed product is lab-tested and sold in compliant packaging.
Getting To Us From Grand Central
Take the 4, 5, or 6 Lexington Avenue line south to 23rd Street. From there, walk west to 5th Avenue and down to The Alchemy Flatiron on West 18th, or continue west to 8th Avenue for The Alchemy Chelsea. Walking the whole way down Madison or Park Avenue is also an option.
We deliver in Manhattan. To check whether your address is covered, start an order on the live menu and the checkout will confirm.
