Pride Month Cannabis

Both stores keep the same hours every day: Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday 10am to 10pm; Thursday and Friday 10am to midnight; Saturday and Sunday 10am to 10pm.

NYC Pride brings huge crowds to the streets, which makes consumption etiquette and the city's rules worth keeping in mind.

In New York City, public smoking law treats cannabis the same as tobacco, so cannabis consumption broadly follows the smoking-ban geography. Smoking and vaping are not allowed where the smoking ban already applies, including parks, pedestrian plazas, near school grounds, on subway and bus property, at many venues, and on federal property. Even on sidewalks where public smoking is generally allowed, a dense, family-friendly crowd is not the place for it, so discretion matters.

Edibles and THC beverages produce no smoke or vapor and sit outside the smoking framework, which makes them the lower-friction option in a packed outdoor setting. On private property, including a rooftop or an after-party venue, consumption depends on the owner's or host's permission, so ask before you light up anywhere indoors or on someone's roof.

Pace yourself. Pride Sunday is a long day. Starting low and spacing things out beats a heavy dose early, especially with edibles, where the effect builds gradually. Drink water, since June in the city can be hot and a long day in the sun plus cannabis can dehydrate you faster than you expect. And keep the focus where it belongs: Pride is about LGBTQ+ community and history first, and cannabis is just one small part of someone's day.

We carry the full range of adult-use categories: flower, vapes and carts, pre-rolls, edibles, concentrates, THC beverages, tinctures, topicals, CBD, and accessories. For a long outdoor day in a crowd, edibles and THC beverages are the easy choice because they need no equipment and produce no smoke. The specific brands and products on the shelf change, so the live menu or a quick question at the counter is the best way to see what is in stock.

We mark Pride Month in store. The specific featured products, any community partnerships, and any promotions change year to year, so we do not list them on this page. What is current shows on the live menus and at the counter, where staff can also point you to LGBTQ+-owned brands that are in stock. Any promotion follows New York's Office of Cannabis Management advertising rules, prices include applicable New York taxes at checkout, and a valid government photo ID is required. Adults 21 and over only.

New York's adult-use market is young, and the roster of brands grows as new licensees come online. That includes LGBTQ+-owned cultivators, processors, and retailers. We stock LGBTQ+-owned products when they reach the New York wholesale channel, judged by the same quality standards as any other brand. If supporting LGBTQ+ ownership matters to you, ask a budtender at either store for what is currently on the shelf.

Match the format to the moment. For a long stretch in a crowd, an edible or a THC beverage carries without the gear or the smoke. For an after-party on private property, ask the host what is okay before you bring anything out. If you are buying for a group of adults 21 and over, shareable formats like a pre-roll multi-pack or an edible pack let everyone choose their own. Tell a budtender the plan and they will suggest options from the current menu.

Keep the basics in mind: a valid government photo ID showing you are 21 or over, New York's daily purchase limit (commonly cited as 3 ounces of flower or 24 grams of concentrate), and New York taxes at checkout. Public consumption follows the smoking-ban geography, so plan where you consume.
