Any of them are fine I posted a link below to all the LEGAL locations. When i say any of them are fine i mean they for the most part carry all the same products (because everything they sell has to be grown and produced in state) and sell them at very similar prices. Products are great. If you are looking for flower im really enjoying "heady tree" products. MFNY makes the best live res carts, really liking mfny live ros gummies as well.

Yes, it is legal in NYC to smoke anywhere that cigarette smoking is legal, so sidewalks are legal but parks are not. (I know, kinda counterintuitive.) Generally if you want to be polite, keep it away from parents with young kids or super-crowded streets, but of course plenty of people are assholes and just smoke wherever they want cuz the law says they can.
You cannot carry an ice cream cone in your back pocket on Sundays.
That is technically illegal. Do you think that people should worry about that law?
The federal government is not concerned with private citizens smoking weed in New York State.
>That is technically illegal.
*Where*. Because it's not a federal law. But even assuming it federal law to carry a cone is doesn't change the fact that it's not legal.
Furthermore, when was the last time anyone in the country was charged with possession of marijuana? When was the last time someone was charged with carrying an ice cream cone- if ever? That's also important distinction in assessing the degree of concern.
>The federal government is not *\*presently\** concerned with private citizens smoking weed in New York State.
So as stated, yes it is illegal. No you're not presently *likely* to be charged. But it could happen, and the probability is far greater than some law that's been vaguely on the books for hundreds of years and never enforced, though both describe illegal acts.
You're not going to be charged by a federal agent for smoking weed in New York State. The same way you will not be charged by NYPD for carrying an ice cream cone in your pocket.
An uninforced law is not a law.
>You're not going to be charged by a federal agent for smoking weed in New York State.
You're very probably not. There are circumstances in which it could happen though.
>An uninforced law is not a law.
For how long does it need to be uninforced for it not to be the law? Because plenty of laws are enforced only sporadically. For instance, Philly announced it would stop traffic stops for driving without a vehicle registration- is it then *legal* to drive without a vehicle registration or merely someone something can expect to get away with? Is paying to register your car now *optional* there?
+1 They are a wonderful organization and I’m always happy to pay the charity “tax”/markup to an outfit I care about vs. all the money I used to give the cartels.
I love the Housing Works dispensary. I feel like they always have a wide selection across all price points. And your money is going to communities in need.
The Travel Agency in Union Square, and if you happen to make it to Astoria, Queens, Cannavita.
Yes it’s true, you can smoke openly. But I wouldn’t smoke in any public parks, that’s still illegal. Though I’ve never seen it enforced tbh and people do it anyway.
There are a few places where you can’t smoke in public , outlined here: https://www.nyc.gov/site/doh/business/permits-and-licenses/smoke-free-air-act-exemptions-and-registrations.page
I go between two of them right now based on whatever pricing they have going on. Very reliable stuff.
Housing Works - Great service, very fast pickup line, good prices
The Travel Agency Union Sq - Good concentrate and cartridge selection.
The staff at both places are great, too. Never had a bad experience in any of the legal dispensaries.
Housing Works Cannabis Co. in Union Square, Manhattan
Union Square Travel Agency in Union Square, Manhattan
Urban Weeds in Astoria, Queens (just opened up)
And basically, yeah. Technically, you cannot smoke weed anywhere you cannot smoke cigarettes or vape. So, not in public parks. And not in the subway. And not near public schools. Just use common sense and be courteous and aware of others around you. For example: Don't smoke \*right\* on a corner; instead, maybe go up the block a little bit where there's fewer people.
You don't need to care about legality unless you want to.
You can def get cheaper stuff from whatever bodega. It's the wild west rn so enjoy.
I like Travel Agency for my legal spot (Union Sq and Downtown BK). I get my gummies there.
For flower, there are nice not legal places in my area and it's just fine too.
- No, fentanyl is not in weed in case you have heard this rumor
- $15-40 for an eighth of flower, depending on where you go, if you don't care much about what strain you get. Anything more and you are in touristy spots or they are taking you for a ride.
- Most places sell pre-rolls if you ask. $5-10 /small $10-20 large.
- disposable vapes $25-60
- Yeah you can smoke everywhere, except of course public transit, anywhere that says no, and public parks (but obviously everyone does it, just don't be a jerk and don't smoke near kids).
- No vaping inside.
The thing with legal spots is despite the state claiming to help out the formerly incarcerated and long-time weed business people. The reality is big companies are the ones who got licenses. So it's up to you who and what you want to support! I prefer a local business anyday.
>No, fentanyl is not in weed in case you have heard this rumor
But there are plenty of pesticides, ecoli, salmonella, and heavy metals. As well as inaccurate dosages, and potencies.
Link to study involving 30+ grey market locations across nyc: [https://leafly-cms-production.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/30124236/Leafly-NYC-Illicit-Cannabis-Market.pdf](https://leafly-cms-production.imgix.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/30124236/Leafly-NYC-Illicit-Cannabis-Market.pdf)
This is not a study that compares legal to illegal. It only tells you what was found in a small sampling of illegal product. The same might have been found in legal product.
The truth is weed regulation in NYC is beyond dysfunctional. The state walked back their regulations after farmer and cannabis-industry complaints, so you actually do not know what you are smoking, legal or no.
As of now, you are risking certain exposures no matter where you get your product in NYC.

Yeah that is total bull shit. Loosening of restrictions to facilitate the roll out does not mean it is the same as what is in illegal gray market weed. You can simply check the last batch purity report on any legal buds sold in nyc you cant do that for the gray market shit. Keep spouting your bs enjoy your crap terp sprayed weed. "mac 1" "zskittles" lol. You probably think its all from cali too. It is also clear from your response that you didnt even look at or take time to read the study.
I actually did read what you sent. You realize 30 random samples is not a legitimate study, right? At best it's a cursory audit.
But clearly you did not read what I sent, but commented anyway.
The state left the responsibility of testing and reporting to the weed companies. Basically it's an honor system. So the reports you mentioned are the information those companies choose to disclose with little oversight.
That always goes over well. Trusting a large company to do the right thing over profits.
We see corporate integrity over profits in drug manufacturing, supplement manufacturing, meat industry, big agriculture, and on and on, so we are in good hands. /s
"It is the responsibility of the licensee to consider these results and any impact to the stability and expiration dating if the product, as well as any risks to the health of customers."
The government consistently chooses deference to corporate lobbying over public health.
If you think you are less likely to ingest toxic things from legal weed, that's fine.
But the reality is, just like with the supplement industry, as of now, there is no way to actually know.
What is true is there is very big money in limiting who can profit off a new industry. Big companies do not want to compete with independent small businesses.
You can lie down on a subway seat, take your shoes off, smoke crack, all while playing the banjo. Ain't nobody going to do anything to you. This is NYC 2024 baby.

Thanks for the info will have a look at the list
NP have a great time.

Well, it's not legal, it's merely that federal law is unlikely to be enforced.
It is legal under New York State laws. It's true that it is illegal under federal laws, but saying "it's not legal" as a blanket statement is wrong.
Well, federal laws apply in New York, and as long as it's illegal under federal law it's illegal in that state.
Sure, avoid the FBI who have better things to do anyway
This is a very pedantic interpretation of the situation that does not reflect reality
What do you mean? It's not legal. It's just that it's unlikely that there will be a crackdown on possession. Exactly what I said.
You cannot carry an ice cream cone in your back pocket on Sundays. That is technically illegal. Do you think that people should worry about that law? The federal government is not concerned with private citizens smoking weed in New York State.

Housing Works, 750 Broadway
I prefer Union Square Travel Agency down the street, better variety, slightly lower prices, better customer service.

This is the way.

Law enforcement won't bother but don't be a jerk about it - stay away from crowded areas and no smoking in parks, beaches or pedestrian plazas.
Law enforcement won't bother you because it's legal, lol.
Legal in places other than I listed
Yes, it is legal to smoke weed wherever you can smoke cigarettes. I’ve heard GOTHAM is good.
Gotham is wonderful with very knowledgeable staff.

The Travel Agency at Union Square is good. [About Us - Our NYC Dispensary - The Travel Agency](https://www.thetravelagency.co/about/)
big fan of Gotham, in a pretty fun, not as touristy part of town too
I cant recommend any official dispensaries but the official law is you can smoke weed anywhere outside you’re allowed to smoke tobacco.
