Pre-Rolls Near Times Square

A pre-roll comes ready to go. There is no grinder, paper, or extra gear to deal with, which is part of why it is an easy first stop for someone visiting the city. The product is sealed and sized for a single session, so it travels well and there is no loose flower to manage.

One thing worth knowing if you are visiting: cannabis cannot legally cross state lines, even between two states that both allow adult use, because it is still federally illegal. Anything you do not finish in New York has to stay in New York.

Pre-rolls come in a few common formats. Single rolls are the most common, usually a half gram or a full gram. Infused pre-rolls have concentrate added for a stronger product. There are hash-rolled specialty formats, and there are multi-packs for people who want more than one. Brands and specific products rotate, so the live Dutchie menu is the place to see exactly what is in stock right now and at what price.

Public consumption in New York broadly follows the same geography as the cigarette smoking ban, so the rules you already know for tobacco are a good guide. You cannot consume inside MTA stations, on subway platforms, in a workplace, or in a vehicle, whether you are the driver or a passenger.

If you are staying at a hotel, the policy is set by the property, not by us. Many hotels are smoke-free indoors. The front desk is the right place to ask before you assume anything.
